SCO still thrashing about

SCO Blames Linux For Bankruptcy Filing — SCO Group — InformationWeek

SCO Group CEO Darl McBride says competition from the open source Linux operating system was a major reason why the company was forced to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Friday.

In a court filing in support of SCO’s bankruptcy petition, McBride noted that SCO’s sales of Unix-based products “have been declining over the past several years.”

The slump, McBride said, “has been primarily attributable to significant competition from alternative operating systems, including Linux.” McBride listed IBM (IBM), Red Hat, Microsoft (MSFT), and Sun Microsystems (SUNW) as distributors of Linux or other software that is “aggressively taking market share away from Unix.”

Can someone find me a good image of a person stomping/dancing on someone else’s grave so that I can insert it here? If it’s a penguin doing the stomping/dancing, all the better. Thanks!
