    *nix needs a better windowing system than X. Not really looking so much as performing. X is bloated and buggy, IMO, so much so that I'd rather use Windows 95 over any X gui any day of the week.

    And I hate Windows 95.

    Now, I don't know how well this performs, as I've never used it, but I hope "damn well". :(

    The Canopy group primarily owns SCO (those evil people) and a big chunk of TrollTech.

    From the SCO website:

    "Caldera Systems, Inc. is a Canopy Group holding under the Ray Noorda/Canopy Group Investment Company. Ray Noorda is the former CEO of Novell, Inc. (NASDAQ:NOVL)"

    And from the TrollTech site, you can see Canopy, along with SCO group own about 6% of trolltech too.

    Take a look at the Canopy group main website and be sure to not patronize any of their other 20 or so "Portfolio Companies" like me.

    Go to heck SCO and the VC you rode in on too.
