Where do you get MS from anywhere in that post?

| well, SCO is the private law firm by M$... looks like two heads in one stone...
not that I approve of worms, I got enough mail as it is. and not that it is necessary in any rate, the SCO group is unbelieved anyway...
they just take dollars from M$ and spend them on lawyers...

Actually, Micro$oft was(maybe still is) a large owner of SCO stock. SCO and Microsoft have always been linked together.
IMHO, SCO has always sucked, but until late (the lawsuits) they only made their customers unhappy, now they are trying real hard to make the whole world unhappy.
The only form of life lower than SCO is the scum that launches attacks on them by sending us all viruses. |

| They haven't always been linked together as such. SCO had an anti-trust suit against Microsoft over DR-DOS some time ago.

The lawsuit was between Caldera and MS. SCO bought Caldera after the lawsuit was over. |

Oh but it effects MS OS's.
I'm reading between the lines. The main target is SCO the target OS to deploy the WORM is Windows.
Should have read WORM exploits MS OS again.

| sorry, but the target is linux.
it's very easy; the virus does not do a good job, because it clobbers mail servers up too much and less DDoS.
most mail-servers are linux or unix, but not likely to be SCO or caldera. linux has nothing to gain from this, except bad publicity, so the target is linux (and open source).

| Then the target is wider than just MS, SCO or Linux.
Lets get this straight..
1. Microsoft OS is targeted for it's insecure setup.
2. In turn causes systems to be hijacked and flood the internet SCO with DDoS attacks.
3. Followed up by Linux servers and other E-mail servers getting slammed.
4. Ending with productivity etc etc etc..
Who's the real target. Everyone, but the GUN of the operation was MS..
So in order of targets
•1st SCO.. They are where the attack is sent.
•2nd Microsoft OS .. They are the opportunity and gun of the operation.
•3rd Email servers. Innocent bi-standards of the attack.
•4th Everyone else..
Ok remove Microsoft from this equation.
3 and 4 wouldn't exist.

Let's get this straight... SCO (Santa Cruz Operation, now known as Tarantella) sold its UNIX business to Caldera International. SCO changed its name to Tarantella and Caldera changed its name to The SCO Group. The litigous SCO Group is in reality a reinvented Caldera International, a well known LINUX developer and distribution. |
