One of SCO's many critics, Al Petrosky, who was at the short 20-minute hearing, reminded us to tell you that Stephen Norris, the co-founder of the Carlyle Group and more recently Norris Capital Partners, the billionaire facilitator behind the deal, is himself a lawyer - and besides all the legal talent he can buy - should be able to appraise SCO's case himself.

Sys-Con says (after Maureen is found to be a PJ Stalker): "We will no longer use Maureen's articles on our sites."
The Public says: "How many lies does it take for Sys-Con to support a stalker?"
Hey Sys-Con... the public will never forget your participation in this stalking she did. The fact that you're still running this stalker's articles after you stated publicly that you would never do so again just proves how much you were a willing participant in the stalking of PJ.
"One of the most respected technology reporters in the business" - Name one person that respects her.
That doesn't work for Sys-Con or SCO, that is.

One thing not in this article, that other sites are saying, is that the DoJ has had it with SCO now, and may dismantle the corp. if the currect restructuring fails. This is reported on both Ars Technica and E Commerce Times (Maurine, just go to Google News and search for "SCO DOJ" to get this info) and why it is not included here is beyond me, unless the article is designed to offer some glimmer of hope. Other than that, the point that Norris is a lawyer is relevant, but possibly not in the way that O'Gara thinks. Norris is representing his clients, not SCO, and has the unnamed "moneybags" interests foremost. As long as this unnamed individual/group makes money, Norris could care less about what happens to SCO or SCO's chances of winning the lawsuits. It could well be that Norris et al hope that a small infusion of money, with a promise of more, could force IBM/Novell to buy SCO from Norris, when they take posession, thereby making a profit for unamed person/group. However, believing that Norris is buying this because he thinks SCO has a case is crazy! There is way to much risk in that line of reasoning for anyone to sink money into it. I guess time will tell, but I still expect all of this to come to naught. If it does, I guess Maureen can begin championing RIAA, or if that fails, some of these patent trolls...

Shouldn't SCO get approval from the bankruptcy court before they start blithely announcing yet another variation on the re-org plan?
