So, since Word doesn't run on SCO Unix, can we assume SCO dislikes their own OS product enough to run Windows? To me that says more than the doc itself does.

Another reason to distribute PDFs instead of source documents: user stupidity.

No kidding. The sad part is that this isn't the first time someone has been screwed by not masking their data correctly.

IIRC, a while back on slashdot, they had an article about the govornment releasing a "censored" document where you could "un-censor" it by removing the overlay....stupid.

Somewhere in time.
SCO could potentially sue the following, because they use Linux in one way or another:

The U.S. District Court in Nevada where the lawsuit against AutoZone was filed
The FBI
The White House
The Department of Defense
The Department of Homeland Security
US-CERT, the U.S. Computer Emergency Response Team

and also

The city of Lindon, Utah, where SCO is based
