The Register: IDC pricks SCO-Caldera bubble

"IDC has delivered a wary response to the acquisition by Caldera of the Santa Cruz Operation's UnixWare and its accompanying services division."

"We've only got some excerpts of the IDCFlash, entitled Caldera Acquires Parts of SCO - Does it Make Sense?. But in a fine piece of reporting Linuxgram got hold of some more and, from these excerpts, IDC's answer to its own question seems to be: "Not a lot."

"The authors profess to "a strong sense of disquiet" and predict a slow decline for UnixWare and the accompanying services division that Caldera acquired."
