My point was if your at the right place at the right time w/ the right technology, your wealthy. Biggest difference is i can live without my computer, i cannot live without my health. When your ill, one thing matters, getting better. CYGX is going at the most primal level, your own survival. The reason suicide is illegal here in the U.S. is simple. You would have to be sick to go against your built in safety guard.

Is Microsoft somehow behind the SCO campaign to harass Linux users ? news
SCO - Linux - Microsoft connection?
SCO's Suit: A Match Made in Redmond? - Business Week, March 11, 2004
Just as the legal battle over Linux was about to become even more expensive, Microsoft suggested that a hedge fund invest in the outfit
Halloween X: Follow The Money - Excuse me, did we say in Halloween IX that Microsoft's under-the-table payoff to SCO for attacking Linux was just eleven million dollars? Turns out we were off by nearly an order of magnitude — it was much, much more than that.
"Whether or not Microsoft is secretly bankrolling the SCO Group for more than $100 million to attack Linux and the general open source community through questionable intellectual property lawsuits, NewsForge has learned that U.S. federal regulators may have begun investigating the relationship between the two companies -- and may also be looking closely at a number of other people and companies connected to them through stock or other business transactions. - groklaw.net
But who stands to gain the most from an SCO win? Microsoft. Linux is the primary force standing between Microsoft and domination of the computer world. The software giant is happily fanning customers' fears with an anti-Linux campaign while pumping money into SCO. Even though neither company has disclosed a dollar figure, sources close to SCO say Microsoft has spent more than $12 million on SCO licenses. The Most Hated Company In Tech - SCO's huge Linux suit against IBM is a long shot that may yield nothing but bile, businessweek.com, FEBRUARY 2, 2004
The Xbox Linux Project -- comprising programmers in Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom -- began hacking a Linux operating system that would work with the game system, which now costs under $200. With its high-speed Internet connection, DVD capabilities and hard drive, the hardware device is the perfect shell for hackers to play with, creating a low-price computer for the masses.
