SCO quality
SCO's overall strategy and the quality of its products, it's suggested, did it more damage than its rivals.
I had to admin a SCO Unix box for a couple of years. Total horror show.
Our CEO insisted on buying it to run some software package he wanted. Every time he forgot or mistyped his password (i.e. every time he used the damned thing) it locked him out and I had to trek over to the building he was in to unlock his account, which could only be done from the console. There was no way to disable the lockout mechanism, or increase the number of attempts to allow for his cack handed typing.
Fortunately the board decide we could dispense with his services, so we dispensed with the SCO box as well.
