IBM has accused Microsoft of conspiring with SCO in an attempt to
derail Linux.

IBM eServer iSeries general manager sales Al Zollar, yesterday told
delegates attending of the company?s Asia Pacific Strategic Planning
Conference in Queensland that was a set of forces that were
attempting to stymie adoption of the open source operating system.

They're mostly located in Redmond although they have recruited a few
allies, said Zollar.

He then indicated that SCO -- which is currently making intellectual
property claims over code contained in some versions of Linux and
maneuvering to extract license fees from commercial of the operating
system -- was part of the alliance.
