Comments on: SCO Group faces possible Nasdaq delisting

Company fails to file its year-end earnings report with the SEC in a timely fashion, plans to appeal the decision.

Alterior motives?

Delyaing the filing will also permit executives
to get their affairs in order, obtain passports
for the rest of their families and a final
opportunity to get their homes sold off...

One more example...

... of SCO management incompetence --- or fraud skills. Take
your choice.

Well...

it just show that SCO is crumbling. Oh, they may not be going under, but I would say thier ship is taking on water.

The funny thing is that some company will give Darl Mcbride a job as an executive. Companies seem to like fail CEO's because of the theory they won't make the same mistake twice. Personally I would give him a job... working as fry guy as McDonalds under his teenage manager.

I am debating on whether or not SCO will survive another year before declaring Chapter 17. Of course a more important question is will anyone pick up UNIX and open source it so you won't have any more people trying to pull a SCO with it?

SCO Doesn't Own Unix

"Of course a more important question

source it so you won't have any more

If anyone wants to pick up Unix they will have to get it from Novell who still owns the copyrights to most of it. SCO only bought the rights to market Unix. That's why most of their saber rattling was more like a baby's rattle. They were threatening to sue people for infringing on copyrights they didn't even own.

I bet...

I bet Microsoft would like to get ***** of SCO products and patents. I bet that would make life fun for all. Hopefully it would never pass anti-trust, but in the greedy country who knows.

The Natural Order of Things

It is natural that:
1. The executives are buying time to see what they can strip from the carcass.
2. Because they have divested the company of its identity, tuning it over to ambulance chaser lawyers.
3. As they never intended to build a software business. They intended from the beginning, to use a corporation as a gambler uses marked cards, to steal money from customer's and competitors using Fear Uncertainty and Doubt.

It is the Natural Order of Things, that a company that does not plan to produce a product or service will fail. It just kills me that in this failure, the executives will be "compensated". That is the only UNnatural part of this story.
