This one ain't *meant* to be funny, but it had me rolling:

"SCO Group has revealed it plans migration options extending the
intellectual property program launched earlier this year.

Outlined in SCO's latest 8K Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
filing, no further details were given.

However, a company spokesperson told ComputerWire SCO would probably
provide customers with financial incentives and discounts to migrate to
SCO Unix, other vendors' Unix, and what he referred to as "other
proprietary operating systems" but probably Windows.

"We are offering a migration path to other operating systems that have a
stronger IP basis than Linux," the spokesperson said. Incentives will be
offered "in the coming months.""

Of course, if one honestly *believes* in a certain version of reality,
or wishes to appear as if they do, no matter the utter stupidity, they
will come out with boneheaded plans like this one...with a straight
face.
