What do you know....

...SCO is trying to find legitimate business opportunity. I wouldn't
have thought that SCO management knew how - and maybe they
don't. And maybe SCO will be busted before this pipe dream has a
chance

One would hope so....

SCO'd

Personally I wouldn't buy or use anything SCO has at the moment. Not because they produce bad software, but because of the lawsuit that is probably going to bankrupt the company and leave many people in limbo.

However, if SCO tossed Dayrl McBride and dropped the lawsuit with appologies then I would put them back on my consideration list.

Companies have been failing to find this profitable for years

SCO is showing how inept they are at becoming a real business.

The market for cell phone/PDA services boomed and busted five years ago, when every dot-com refugee decided that it was the new, sexy land of cash.

But SCO had to figure out a way to get some more investment and keep its executives in Porsches, I guess.

Probably Not

The SCO Group is wrapped up in major legal battles and is facing a major financial whammy if Novell should get their way. Novell has asked the court to place ALL of SCO's money into a trust because Novell claims that the royalties for their SCO Source licenses to Sun and Microsoft should have been paid to Novell. If the court agrees, this would basically bankrupt SCOX.

Where is SCOX going to get the funds to ramp this up, productize it, market it with expensive advertising, support it, etc.?

They're bleeding cash as it is. They've lost most of their people. They're credibility is zilch after suing their own customers (AutoZone, Daimler, et. al.)

If this ever makes it to the streets, it's doubtful that anybody would want to buy it.
