BREAKING LINUX NEWS: Microsoft *Was* Matchmaker Between BayStar & SCO | |
|
||
| Time: 12:56 EST/17:56 GMT | News Source: Linux World | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||

BusinessWeek is today confirming the Net rumors that have been circulating alleging that Microsoft helped finance a small Utah software company's three lawsuits - against IBM and two corporations that use Linux, AutoZone and Daimler-Chrysler. According to the report, written by BWOnline's Jim Kerstetter:
Lawrence Goldfarb, managing partner of BayStar, says that senior executives at the software giant had telephoned him about two months before the investment. Would he be interested in investing in SCO, they asked? Goldfarb wouldn't identify the executives, but says neither Chairman William Gates nor CEO Steve Ballmer were among them. He says Microsoft didn't put any money into BayStar or the SCO investment. A Microsoft spokesman says that the company has no "direct or indirect" financial relations with BayStar, but declined to comment when asked whether execs called BayStar to suggest investing in SCO. | ||
