Like little Tommy Daschell, I'm saddened. You see, I remember when SCO actually wrote and sold software, rather than just being a lawyer coral. SCO Xenix was actually pretty darned good. I worked with both the 286 and 386 versions, as well as Altos XENIX... Heck, my first computer was an Altos 586, which had a 10Mhz 8086 processor, that ran Xenix (although it wasn't an SCO product.)

SCO Xenix, and later SCO Unix, were exremely stable and bullet-proof, if not exactly "standard" Unix.

Well, you actually remember a different SCO. SCO sold their Unix business to Caldera and then changed their name to Tarantella. Caldera then took the name SCO for name recognition purposes.

The SCO of today is in no way related to the SCO you remember.

Is that good news? :)
