Weird. My boss (SVP Finance & IT) is a big MS guy, but understands all 
the great things we're going with Linux. We churn about $500M a year 
and have 8000 employees.

My boss poo-poo's SCO's lawsuits. We (hotel company) are involved in 
zero-merit lawsuits fairly frequently, so he's used to the noise and 
ignores legal temper tantrums.

There's plenty of info available on how doomed the SCO legal position 
appears to be. We're also a big customer of IBM, who is fighting back 
aggressively.

Perhaps SCO isn't the real reason behind his decisions, just an excuse?
