Gushh !!!!
This guys seem to have a very well rehearsaled mantra, that all in all is a complete BS.

I dont know where they came with the idea 'entreprise class OS'!,... hmmm... probabily lawyers,... but what is a 'entreprise-class OS' ?

Here is a simple question, which answer seem to raise even more questions:
*Does SCO belive that everybody in the IT world are stupid... or worst ?
*Does SCO belive that IBM is not intitled to disposal their own code the way they like ?
*what are the pseudo-cientific criteria to classifie a 'entreprise-class OS'?
*Were and still are SCO OSes class entreprise ?
*Who needs a entreprise 'entreprise-class OS'anyway ?

And the question that distinguish itself more is " Who needs a 'entreprise-class OS'anyway ? ", because if you look a bit at the history of the IT world, and the explosive growth of Microsoft Win9x in entreprises, it seems that there where the entreprises that had to change, disform, distort,..., to became Win9x-class, and not win9x that has done much to became entreprise-class...

And without any theorys what so ever that was what really happened.

But matters are worst,... whit processores becaming CMP(multicore) and having SMT(multithreading), and with NUMA support craved in the MOBOs and chipsets (the opteron 4 and 8 ways), it dosent gonna take to long before i can pick up off the ground a 2 way machine that in reality has the equivalente to 8 virtual processores (2core*2smt each) and would be more powerfull than any 8 way machine that is *now* out there for entreprise-class IT.
And with DELL announcing living the 8 way market because it represents less than 1% of the all cake, i belive anyone can see my point...

Who's going to need a OS, entreprise-class or whatever, as SCO seems to imply ?
