Although widely reported elsewhere, I think it would be remiss of me not to mention the SCO-Baystar story. Apparently a leaked memo has surfaced that indicates some pretty strong financing ties between SCO and Microsoft via a company known as Baystar Capital which financed some recent SCO acquisitions. Even SCO and Microsoft has confirmed that the memo is authentic.
While the true meaning of the memo is not crystal clear, the sub-text inferred by the Linux community is that this is the smoking gun proving that Microsoft is helping finance SCO's anti-Linux jihad. Indeed the money injected into SCO via Baystar dwarfs its recent quarterly revenues. A lengthy description is available at eWeek. See also the interesting story From code war to Cold War at the BBC.
