I for one do not have much faith in MicroTest. I think the market is
begging for some local Linux Solution leader to ween them off Commercial
BS like SCO and tbh any other commercial UNIX flavor I have laid my
hands on.

I have been reading about this whole SCO case. Shameful. But I believe
it poses no threat to Linux so there is no need to get worked up about
it. Don't put your hopes in IBM or Novell. They are not necessarily the
'good guys' either. 

Intellectual Property is a big ugly costly mess.
