Phew, things move awful slow in the world! I remember when this broke (in like, 2005?). It was HUGE news on Slashdot - many of the comments were along the lines of "This fud will be killed, and SCO will be dead in months.". And here we are, 7 YEARS later!
- astrodust 14y agoIt always amounts to: "SCO will be dead in N months where N is a number greater than zero."
- jack-r-abbit 14y agoWell, typically you stop using "months" once you've gone beyond a year or so. I tell people my kid is 5 years old... not 64 months. To say something will be gone "in months" would imply you think it will be less than a year... not 7 years.
- a-priori 14y agoWhat you're remembering is that, in 2007, they filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, in which an insolvent company tries to rebuild its finances to avoid bankruptcy. Apparently that failed, and they're now actually filing for bankruptcy.
