Original OSNews Interviews Have you partaken in the conspiracy theories about Microsoft's recent investment in Vintela, a Unix-Windows integration software company? Vintela's association with SCO, and Microsoft's apparent interest in keeping SCO's legal battle against IBM afloat in order to undermine Linux, certainly provide plenty of kindling to keep the home fires burning at conspiracy central. But let's try to get the story straight first. OSNews interviewed Vintela President Dave Wilson.

re: SCO and Vintela current affiliation

Vintela is a great investment. SCO thought so several years ago, and MS thought so lately. Frankly if I had a few million in cash floating freely, I would be doing the same.
It's simply a damn good investment to buy into companies with potentially explosive growth potential.

Vintela is setting in an extremely prime situation, MS is their largest partner, and they happen to be tied to one of the larger Unix suppliers. When we get to the end of the rainbow, a huge chunk of this makes sense considering they are after all a Unix/Windows infrastructure company.
