SCO UnixWare 7.1.3 Review

Posted by timothy on from the extremely-faint-praise dept.

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.'"

    Hmmmm..... For calling the grandparent flamebait the parent got modded as flamebait. So if I call the parent flamebait for calling the grandparent flamebait do I become flamebait or insightful?

    Belorus (or Belorussia, or Belarus, or even BY all can be considered correct, AFAIK there's not much anti-Russian people) in Soviet Era was agricultiral zone of USSR. So - lots of cows and potato fields and low-tech. :) Several of big factories (mostly heavy machinery and chemical). They are idling now.

    Un-official position of goverment related to Internet is like Chinese - president doesn't want educated or informed citizens. Minister for communications once stated in speech "Our grandparents didn't have Internet and lived well, why should we need it?" (it's a documented fact).

    Brains are leaking from country at very high rate (to Russia, Europe, USA).

    Poland (or 'Rech Pospolitaya' in past) was three times divided in old times, cutting different slices of Belorussia every time, so there are a lot polish-originating people in West of BY.

    Culture is indeed distinct and very rich. Language is like a blend of Russian, Ukrainian and some Polish, and is considered to be very melodic.
