SCO tests new OpenServer Unix product

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.

In its most recent quarter, SCO's Unix business declined to $8.3 million from $12 million in the year-earlier quarter. SCO board members last week settled a dispute with their former employer, the Canopy Group, but the company still has other issues to contend with: a key judge has voiced skepticism about its legal claims against Linux, and SCO is wrangling with the Nasdaq over accounting errors.

Microsoft's Back Door into UNIX

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.

Just Let Them Die

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.)

Let them Die.
