Its kinda frustrating reading and hearing about MS slithering their way out the concessions that they agreed to, and getting away with it.

Sounds reminiscent of Microsoft powering www.wehavethewayout.com (site to demote Unix) with FreeBSD...

That must be one of the least visited sites on the web! :D
No seriously perhaps M$ involvement with SCO? we all know whats going on there, proving it and if it's a contender in a court of law is another matter. We all know the stupid little tricks M$ play. On a positive note though I don't think it will actually do them (M$) much good.
For all their manoeuvring, scheming, ploting and legal wrangling I dont think it's actually going to do them any good. The market has already seen the benefits of Open Source both in fiscal and pure tech terms and M$ doesn't seem to want to change it's ways.
The science (Art) of computing is young and M$ will just be a blip in the grand scheme of things.
