Have you partaken in the conspiracy theories about Microsoft's recent investment in Vintela, a Unix-Windows integration software company?

The spokesperson for Vintela did not mention when asked about the current affiliation/relationship that SCO does in fact have (or had) a financial stake in Vintela in the form of a $500k promissary note per page 29 of this SEC filing
www.shareholder.com/Common/Edgar/1102542/1047469-04-5973/04-00.pdf (search for Vintela within the PDF). So it seems that via this financial relationship SCO is/was funding Vintela.
