A complaint was filed with the SEC, with respect to the funds
channelled to SCO from Msft through it's connections.  It is true that
Msft claims that Baystar makes its own investment decisions.  However,
the complaint filed points to illegal/improper insider trading and
other scandalous actions by both SCO Group and Microsoft executives
and insiders, including former Msft, officer, Paul Allen.  I am
waiting to see if that complaint ever gets anywhere.

This Novell document, however, is of great interest.  It's a shame it
has taken this long for this stuff to come out.  I guess all things
come out in their proper time.  If it holds water, and I believe it
does, it's a good thing in my view.
