what if the combined court cost, unwanted publicity and nervous
customers turns out to be more expensive than buying SCO?

no ... i don't think you can be certain of anything.  it's a gamble, for
sure.   one that i believe SCO won't win, because i agree with you that
IBM won't bail out SCO's shareholders.

but certain of that?

never.
