against Linux, and less on Unix'.

An SCO official said BayStar still hasn't responded to the company's
repeated efforts to discuss the falling out. "We are certainly interested in
working out our differences," SCO spokesman Blake Stowell said.

Translation: "Oh please, please, big daddy, don't whip us anymore. We'll
gladly swallow it." :-)

BayStar, which specializes in making private investments in publicly held
companies, arranged a $50 million infusion for SCO last fall. The Royal Bank
of Canada contributed $30 million of the financing. The Royal Bank hasn't
revealed what it will do if BayStar abandons SCO.

The public strife is unusual for BayStar, a low-profile investment firm
founded in 1998 by former bankers Lawrence Goldfarb and Steven Lamar. Since
its inception, BayStar has invested $745 million in about 160 companies,
including XM Satellite Radio Inc. and Roxio Inc.

Lawrence Goldfarb? I've heard of the guy, he's one of the big Jewish
Canadian billionaires. The Royal Bank of Canada is also involved. So this
entire fiasco is being financed by Canadian money-mavens, huh?

Probably more likely red & white helicopters that are about 40 years old and
held together with duct tape. (Badap-badap, ooh yeah, yet another easy jab
at Canada's armed forces.) :-)

'Cept the jab misses. Tony H is in Canada.

Jan is in the Netherlands. They plant helicpoters in the
ground with their rotors facing the wind And certainly
cannot fly after dark. Noise Laws.

The financing raised eyebrows in the high-tech community after BayStar and
SCO confirmed they had been introduced to each other by software giant
Microsoft Corp., which has been losing some customers to Linux. Microsoft
says it has no financial ties to BayStar.


So "Baystar" is pressuring SCO to attack linux and forget about developing
something as silly as it's own products. Yea I'm sure Microstar, I mean
Baystar has no ties to Microsoft....

Ah, but that's not the set of choices.

Baystar is pressuring SCO to actually pursue its lawsuits, as opposed
to grandstanding badly. And they are, in effect, right.

If SCO's to pursue this, it is appropriate for them to do so
competently; if they don't, Baystar is right to chide them for it.
