SCO UnixWare 7.1.3 Review

Posted by timothy on Monday December 15, 2003 @01:13PM 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.'"

Put it under any serious server load on a multiproc box and it probably would kick the shits right out of Linux 2.4.
Have you seen the pricing scheme for multiproc? 2proc box: 2,299$
With that money i can buy 2 singleproc uberboxes and install Linux!
Not to mention 2.6 is almost ready
