As I understand it, Chapter 11 isn't the worse thing that can happen to a business, and infact can help resurrect it.

True, but calling a dead horse just really, really sick won't bring it back to life.
I am beginning to wonder if Microsoft's goal was always to put SCO out of business, and defaming Linux was just a welcome means of accomplishing it. After all, isn't it SCO they have a contract with that prevents them from producing a "Microsoft Linux"? So if they kill SCO, that option opens up...
but they do have a microsoft linux; it's called "Interix" and it is now a free download, called "Microsoft Services for Unix"

MS used ot have Xenix, which ended up in the hands of SCO: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenix Who knows what contracts or licenses they had in that deal, but with SCO going bye-bye, it would quite probably free MS from any obligations to SCO for any actual UNIX/Linux release.

That's not an OS, is it?

Pretty sure I read somewhere that Microsoft agreed to stay out of that particular OS market.
but with SCO going bye-bye, it would quite probably free MS from any obligations to SCO for any actual UNIX/Linux release.
Exactly what I'm saying

it's like colinux. Someone tried to port debian to it but stalled. I think Microsoft should open the Interix source so the co-linux people can merge it. Although it is possible that it isn't really any better.
