I think that $50 million investment from IBM is the factor that will keep this deal positive.
I think IBM is a major reason that keeps MS in line. Can't say if MS initiated the SCO fiasco, probably not, but its pretty clear they took advantage of it with minimal pay out and very little dirt on their hands. Even MS knows what caliber they are dealing with when they take on IBM. Of course IBM patent portfolio is pretty impressive regardless. I would venture to guess they got something on just about everyone. MS included.
