The embattled SCO Group has released OpenServer 6 for beta testing, a new generation of a Unix operating system that previous owners have tried to phase out on at least two occasions. The company plans to ship the final version in May. The new version, code-named Legend, is based on the heart of SCO's other Unix product, UnixWare, which SCO and its predecessors had been trying to steer customers toward.
Clearly Microsoft's Back Door into UNIX is in DEEP trouble. Looks like Microsoft may have to reveal it's intentions and 'save' SCO by officially owning it. Since Microsoft can't beat the competition and can't intimidate Linux it will have to try and compete legitimately, something Microsoft always looses at. Anyway it will be good for a laugh when Microsoft comes clean, as much as they are ever able to, and shows it's new direction is and has been for a few years to use UNIX to save it's sorry ass from insignificance. Just watch for all the lock-ins about to be incorporated into their products and business plans. If you think it's bad now wait and enjoy. Corporate pain is going to increase exponentially, even over todays rate of increase.
Let this piece of garbage company waste what little money it has left on all its legal challenges until it finally goes under. SCO has no redeaming qualities, their products suck, thier support sucks and obviously someone needs to teach them some lessons in dealing with CUSTOMERS (You know.. those people that write you the checks.. those people dont like to be threated with legal action unless paying you a ton of money in unearned licensing fees.)
Google creates an animated doodle that features a boy, a girl, Google's search engine, and a jump rope. But might there be darker, more analytical, more troubling interpretations to this tale?
The Silicon Valley online payments startup grew by 1,000 percent last year and is hopeful it can repeat that level of growth this year. To do that, it's had to move away from its early friends-and-family roots and embrace small businesses.
Chamtech's spray-on antenna uses a nano material to provide a low-power boost to antenna range. The wireless-in-a-can product may some day bring an end to unsightly cell towers.
