What an insult!
Comparing SCO to post nuclear-holocaust cockroaches is an insult to all insects.
After a nuclear holocaust, the only thing left alive will be roaches... and the SCO Group. The company that thinks it owns some lines of Linux – and that everyone else thought was fated for Chapter 7 bankruptcy death this week – has instead revealed to the world that it is the immortal Highlander. Just before a crucial …
What would anyone want to buy or back a failed Unixware company for? It isn't viable even if the code is updated. Who would update the code and what for?
It's hard enough for a Linux business to make money. And almost all Linux companies have credence. I'd have thought that a speculator with any real idea of going into the business would start his own Linux company or invest in one looking for a fund-raiser.
Good grief even Novell seems not to want Unix code. And I get the idea they are only sparring with SCO for the publicity it gives them.

Maybe they could even call the merged entity "Scum" as an effort to be more relevant to their target audience.
Sorry, it's been a long day, I'll get me coat...
How the company has fallen. I probably used to know that many developers at the "old" SCO. One by one they've all gone. The software is badly dated now because it hasn't been kept up to date for several years. It pains me to say it because I used to really like OpenServer but now it needs a massive investment to update it. When you factor in the continuing Linux onslaught I really don't see how anyone could make any money from it.
As a 30+ year UN*X veteran, I personally have no interest in anything that Darl McBride has to say ... More important, I personally will never suggest, advocate, or otherwise recommend any product that Darl McBride happens to be hawking. He's burnt his bridges, end of discussion.
Hands up all who disagree with me.

That's what I thought. As you all were, nothing to see here.
