Scodera drops the other shoe

[Aaron Grewell]

Alienating your customers is never good business.  Taking the short view
when you're that big is actually pretty dumb, because long-term you're
guaranteed to lose money.  I used to be a good MS customer, just like I used
to be a good Caldera customer.  Now I do business with the former only when
I can't avoid it, and with the latter not at all.  They betrayed their
stockholders when they betrayed their customers.  The stockholders just
haven't figured it out yet because it takes awhile for that message to
percolate to the top.  Nonetheless, it will happen.  It happened to IBM, and
it will happen to MS just the same.

That would be good business.

Business is about making money. If MS can make a few more billion dollars
per year legally with some some hard nosed legal tactic, why not? They would
be betraying their stockholders if they didn't.
