SCO UnixWare 7.1.3 Review 399
JigSaw writes "Despite news about SCO being all about the lawsuit, they still sell OS products and they have a presence in the server market. UnixWare is one of these OS products. Tony Bourke reviewed its latest version, 7.1.3, and even includes benchmarks among other tests. Tony concludes that 'the lack of commercial applications and user community, the difficulty with open source applications, the SCO litigation, and the high price are all marks against UnixWare. There are just very few reasons to adopt UnixWare as your platform, and plenty of reasons to adopt (or migrate to) other platforms.'"

Read your review. Hope you enjoy court and jailtime, because I'm about to sue you into oblivion. Next time you'll know whose side you should be on. Best of luck to you and your lawyers (or lack thereof)!

SCO UNIXWARE IS ON TEH SPOEK (Score:1, Funny)
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered SCO UnixWare community when IDC confirmed that SCO market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that SCO UnixWare has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. SCO is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict SCO's future. The hand writing is on the wall: SCO faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for SCO UnixWare because SCO is dying. Things are looking very bad for SCO. As many of us are already aware, SCO UnixWare continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
SCO has lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time UnixWare developers L. Ron Hubbard and Joseph Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: SCO is dying.
All major surveys show that UnixWare has steadily declined in market share. SCO is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If SCO is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. SCO continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, SCO is dead.
Fact: SCO is dying

In a lucky turn of events for SCO, these pages were stacked neatly in boxes, which were further subdivided into reams of 500 pages. Strangely enough, these millions of pages of evidence had been sitting for months on the shelves of local Office Depot and Staples retail stores. Boies was able to arrange for drop shipment of this evidence to directly IBM's legal team. Boies was quoted as saying, "these pages contain our mountains of evidence against IBM," but IBM was unable to find any offending material on any of the pages. Boies was unavailable for further comment.

"UNIX beard is clearly part of UNIX methods and concepts", claims SCO lawyer David Boies. UNIX beard has long tradition among UNIX kernel developers. It demonstrates authority in enterprise software development. We therefore claim that Saddam has violated our copyrights on UNIX methods and concepts, and demand that SCO UnixWare will be the sole operating system in rebuilt Iraq."
