"A computer expert in North Korea who has a number of personal computers and 
an internet connection can download the latest version of Linux, complete 
with multiprocessing capabilities misappropriated from Unix, and, in short 
order, build a virtual supercomputer," the letter says.
...
SCO, which was paid millions of dollars in software licensing fees by 
Microsoft last year, has picked up where the software giant left off, said 
Black. "They've become a PR firm and a litigation firm for Microsoft. At one 
time they actually had a product, but that doesn't exist anymore."

Weak."

--Where is SCO going with this? A 'computer expert' in North Korea can also 
download Windows XP get an illegal serial number and use it - linux just 
makes it legal and more accessible to those of us who need a powerful OS 
legally. Are they complete jerks or what?
