Having had a friend who was a freelance writer and has written for some
technology sites, IMHO Mr. Murphy was given an assignment with an
unrealistic deadline on a subject that he was not fully familiar with. I
don't suspect collaboration (even unintentional) with SCO FUD so much as
he didn't have a good previous understanding of the subject so that his
result was half-baked.

I think the same thing about Tom Yager's sidebar in InfoWorld a few weeks
ago in the issue "What If SCO Wins?" Inadequate knowledge coupled with
time pressure and inaccurate facts. Yager's sidebar wasn't as bad as
Murphy's article, but it was still kinda raw around the edges, IMHO.

I'm Mike--James' Dad, hence "JamesDad". I use this nym in memory of my
son James Webb (1992-2000) who died fighting leukemia. He was a greater
man at 8 than some ever become. May his life, battle and story never be
forgotten! More info at <http://www.themiraclekids.com/mem-james.htm>.
