Not to defend SCO. But while their Unix business has suffered, Openserver is far better than it was at that time. Openserver had stagnated for years. The current offering is based on the far superior UnixWare kernel and includes lots of nice OSS software like samba.

Still not as good as Caldera Linux was. But far better than the old Openserver.

"Still not as good as Caldera Linux was"

Now there's a laughable comparison... how old is Caldera Linux now? And how would OpenServer compare to a modern Linux distribution then? Yeah... not very well... so why would anyone ever bother with it now?

Good point, but what matters isn't so much the absolute merits of SCOX products, but the gap between Linux and those products. And the gap has widened as SCOX cut R&D.
