- IEatHamburgers, on 10/10/2007, -0/+27Ding dong, the witch is dead
- Socolco, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21When your business model is suing people it can't be good.
HAHAHABWAAHHHAHHHAAA! - asaone, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18could not happen to a better company, man I got this fat lady singing in my ear,lol
- Tarnum, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16I expected Microsoft to save them again. Well, I guess SCO outlived their userfullness.
- Hydraulix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Finally! Next up on the list, RIAA.
- Division, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Karma is a wonderful thing
- geekee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12The SCO lawyers still won.
Plan A: Sue Linux users and providers for a lot of license money
If Plan A fails:
Plan B: Keep billing SCO for your hours until they have no more money left. - btmiller, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13You mean SCOwned :-).
- nick111, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Because Open Source is something that we participate in as opposed to merely buying. It's a little bit different from being a product fanboy.
- doctor49152, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13every one all together now... 1...2...3.... and WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
- mooninite, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11The wicked witch.
- lioneljaffry, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11"It's only a flesh wound."
- totorototoro, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Their main creditors are Amici, a document management firm (all that filing I guess :p ), and Microsoft?
- geekmansworld, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Which old witch?
- dvdrtrgn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Happy Happy Happy
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9jesus christ finally! Someone get a stake and pound it through their heart.
- geminitojanus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Yeah, well, there's no hope for them coming out of this blackhole, they're going to be completely liquidated as soon as the Novell and upcoming IBM counterclaim suits are over. The best part about this their delisting from Nasdaq, poor SCOX holders.
- aroedl, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Excerpt from the list of creditors:

http://groklaw.net/pdf/SCO_CH11-1-E.pdf - MacEnvy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Maybe their "employees" (lawyers) should have attempted some innovation rather than suing their way to failure on false pretenses.
The only ones I feel bad for are their secretarial pool and janitorial staff. The rest of them deserve it. - EuroMarkus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Hope DARL never works again!!!!!
- absurdist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Did anyone here notice that Maureen O'Gara (G2 Computer Intelligence) was listed as one of SCO's creditors? (As in they owe her money?)
I wonder what names Laura Didio and Rob Enderle were working under... - bobbknight, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Next up investors sue Darrel McBride.
- jejones, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Darn it. Would that it were Chapter 7; with Chapter 11, they might actually survive.
- bromac, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Yub yub.
- magnusdopus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Hopefully they'll have an asset sale and Red Hat buys their IP. Otherwise if someone else gets it, this will happen again.
- geminitojanus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6With two enormous lawsuits on their back? Don't count on it. Novell will take them to the cleaners and if there's anything left on the carcass, IBM will sue them for the hell of it.
- dbase, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6PWNZORED
***** SCO and their greediness. All I can say is good riddance. - msgyrd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Poor SCOX holders? Anyone who is still an investor in SCO is ***** retarded. Everyone saw this coming two years ago and should have bailed out then. If you don't take any interest in the companies you invest in, you deserve to get burned.
- adml_shake, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7And all around the world, geeks celebrated like the end of the star wars movies....
- bromac, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7They were useful?
- starkes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5chowned!
- geminitojanus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Like he ever will need to, I'm sure he already cut his losses on SCO ages ago. Gotta be sorry for any sap working for them who left any money in SCO stock though.
- an0nymous, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Don't forget: SCO was once a great company. Seriously.
It's been a long while but it's worth remembering. - Stemp, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8It's a sad new for the employees.
Microsoft don't need SCO anymore for their FUD campaign, they have Novell and Xandros.
Next victims ? - Spr0k3t, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8It's not over yet. Still a long fight ahead of us.
- Atomic1fire, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7and the windopes
and the bsdorks - treed, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7It's still not chapter 7.
I wonder if K-Mart is still in Chapter 11. - einfeldt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I'm an attorney practicing consumer bankruptcy law in San Francisco, and while corporate bk and Chapter 11 in particular are quite different from consumer bk, I would think that certain of their debts are non-dischargeable. Fines, for example are often non-dischargeable, and to the extent that SCO abused the court system, it is likely that portions of Novell's claims might not be dischargeable in Chapter 11. But you have to look at each individual claim on a case-by-case basis, and it really depends on how badly IBM and Novell want to press the bk court to hold SCO's feet to the fire.
- harlequinade, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4This calls for a block party. I'm talking pizza, beer [free, natch!] ice cream, and a cake larger than Kirstie Alley's butt! All accompanied by the delicate thunder of 200 stereo systems -- All of them Amarok!
- netant, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Back in the pre386 days, I actually had a working copy of SCO Xenix for the IBM AT. Worked better than DOS, that's for sure.
- concertina, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Given that tSCOg themselves couldn't decide on what type of intellectual property was being violated each time they appeared in court, let alone what actual violations were occurring, I think we can forgive the submitters' confusion ...
- nightstar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Be nice if this scares the rest of the empty lawsuit drivien companies... Well it could happen!
- Fartag, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Through open source any contributor's efforts are multiplied by every adopter of their contribution. That's a tremendous amount of power for an individual to wield. Anybody with that much power over a domain (that is, _all_ of us) certainly has the right to personalize it, to protect it, to promote it and help guide it. The open source amoeba is not phased by meaningless words of detraction, and there's no room to stand aside either. Prepare to be absorbed either way.
- dopplerdog, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Great company? Did you ever have to develop under SCO UNIX? I unfortunately had to - and I don't EVER want to go there again.
