Microsoft's objective was to outlaw all open-source code. In March 2003, the SCO Group, funded by Microsoft, accused IBM of violating its copyright on UNIX. The functionality and platforms supported by Linux snowballed... Red Hat offers maintenance and update services. Linus Torvalds created open-source Linux in 1991, and it rapidly became a standard operating system for servers. Slowly Intel and Microsoft increased the functions and speed of servers against the reduced instruction-set computing or RISC vendors from the bottom up. Microsoft developed NT, which allowed the same Windows base to be available for servers and PCs... Over this growth period, Microsoft was able to integrate a layer of business productivity tools into Microsoft Office and became a software leviathan.
