●● [NSFW] SCO is a Blast

YouTuber’s craze

Reluctantly enough, several months ago we included an embedded video where Xandros products get shot (yes, literally). The days of SCO are numbered and it now turns out that a similar type of video exists for SCO’s Linux. In case you’re interested, here it is.

Ouch! This sits on the verge of violent content (and nothing that we endorse).

Will Xandros et al ever receive treatment which is similar to SCO’s? That seems unlikely because the immediate reaction did not go as far as DDOS attacks. However, one thing to be aware of is that the Asus Eee, which will be released next month, runs a variant of Xandros and it should therefore be avoided.

Keep your hand off products that give credibility to arguments that patent tax needs to be paid to Microsoft, for unsubstantiated FUD and some payola. “Payola,” you ask? Yes, indeed. Linux companies received money from Microsoft, rather than paid Microsoft. They were paid to support a divide-and-conquer strategy, so it’s a short-term loss for Microsoft and a long-term loss for Linux.

Some problems will end if distributors who sold out are shunned.
