Contradictory positions on the future of Linux are ever with us, like mildew beneath the bedspread, but the latest SCO shennanigans have brought the pot to an intense boil. John Dvorak [who is, on IT matters, always right when he is not wrong] bellows gloom and doom [the comments section is well-worth following up here] in the first of the above entries.
In the second and third articles, continued improvement in the Linux desktop is profiled, suggesting conttinued wind beneath the penguin's wings. For my own part, there are not words fit for a family newsletter [which this definitely is *not*] to express my opinion of it. I expect IBM to win big on this one, with SCO becoming just the memory of another teapot tempest, and Linux moving from strength to strength. I say this based on the evidence, since I am by no means a Linux enthusiast.
