: Scott Bradner (Network World, 5/26/03) in his article "Slime for Sale" quotes: : : "...having tried to use SCO's Unix. I'm not sure how IBM could do a more : effective : job of destroying the economic value of SCO Unix than SCO has been doing : on its own..." : : hmmm... now I know what SCO stands for "Slimy Crude Operations".
Nice opinion. If he's talking about OpenServer then he may be right.. But UnixWare is a very solid OS and very well suited to custom applications for enterprise-sized businesses.. It was super easy to install too (I did it at least 10 times for training).. Just because SCO as a company sucks a**, doesn't mean that automatically all their products suck.. That's a pretty immature way to look at things.. I happen to think that M$ makes a couple of great games (AOE & AOEII). I don't like their business model, or their OS particularly, but the games are very well made I think.. And how lame would games have been all these years on x86 hardware without DirectX? They would have been worthless.. At any rate, how many of the UUG members have ever installed and/or played around with any of SCO's products (not OpenLinux, that was Caldera's product)? They really aren't that bad (well, OpenServer is, but it was retired) and you shouldn't knock 'em 'till ya try 'em in my opinion.. And you certainly shouldn't believe everything you see on TV (or read on the internet)!! And form your own opinions. Don't just follow and agree blindly.. And don't worry about the neighbors yard looking better than yours.. And who cares if your truck has bigger tires than that other guys? If you like something, you don't have to hide it from everyone just because the majority thinks it sucks.. I'll be honest, I hated the kernel debugging on UnixWare.. That part was no fun at all..
