It wasn't US (Linux Users)

According to Groklaw (http://www.groklaw.net/index.php) and the story they quote from Businessweek (May 30 ed.) the DDOS attacks on SCO were not the work of a Linux user.
according to the story the DDOS attacks were perpetrated by a member of an on-line hacker mob style gang and not a Linux user.
As part of their investigation of on-line criminals the Secret Service (USA) were able to confirm that it was not a Linux user who created the worm that made the DDOS attacks on SCO. The SCO attack was a smoke screen and millions of Windows Users got the worm and lost billions of dollars.
I guess the guy used Windows; as MS is want to say "Where would you like Windows to take you today?" In this guys case into a lot of people bank accounts.
