In filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the bankruptcy court that is hearing SCO's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, SCO said that it has found a buyer for its Unix and other software assets. Now there are four questions that need to be answered: Is this buyer really the ultimate buyer for the Unix IP? Or is there someone else behind it? Will the Delaware court go for it? And will this end the various lawsuits that SCO is entangled in? READ MORE >

Sun Sues NetApp Right Back Over Patents
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
A cynic would say that the only real reason that patents are filed for in an increasingly open source IT world is to keep lawyers in their expensive houses and fast cars.

Midrange Shops Get Disaster Recovery Services from IBM
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
IBM's Global Services group has been trying to find a way to get a larger slice of the budget at small and medium businesses in its own customer base for many years. And with a new offering with the unwieldy name of Disaster Recovery Services for Data Center Recovery--Recovery Express, IBM thinks it has just the right thing to not only help it keep its services business growing, but to help customers who cannot afford a full-blown high availability cluster to use IBM's own machines in its own data centers as hot backups.
