- I would just like to comment on the public relations angle of this
- move. Suppose that AT&T wins the suit and BSDI is put out of
- business. AT&T will have spent thousands if not millions in legal
- fees for what gains? It will have pissed-off a large community of
- people who were/are responsible for a great deal of the success of
- ***X. Namely the academic and research communities. All the while
- Microsoft is bearing down on them with Windows NT.
- Smart move AT&T (NOT!).
