This is way off-topic, but it's SCO that is suing IBM and IBM  
countersuing SCO. It appears that Microsoft was helping bankroll  
SCO's lawsuit. If you want to see how it's going, look at a graph of   
the SCOX (the ticker symbol) stock price since 2003 (paying close  
attention to the more recent price as the judge has started ruling on  
discovery issues). It was in 2003 when they started claiming everyone  
using Linux owed them money and they sued IBM for billions of  
dollars. Also see groklaw.net if you really want to know more about  
it. In the interest of full disclosure, I made money shorting SCOX  
stock from mid 2003 to mid 2004 (borrowed and sold at $11, bought  
back at $5).
