An Objective Review of UnixWare 7.1.4

Roblimo writes "Yes, SCO is evil and all that, but in between lawsuits it still puts out a product called UnixWare. NewsForge decided to review the latest version -- 7.1.4 -- just like we would any other Unix-based operating system. To ensure impartiality, we hired respected freelancer Logan G. Harbaugh, who wrote: 'On the server side, UnixWare Enterprise edition is more expensive for 150 users than either Windows 2003 Server Datacenter Edition, any of the Enterprise Linux distributions, or Solaris, with fewer available applications, fewer drivers for recent HBAs and other new hardware, and no currently available 64-bit version for either Opteron or Itanium processors.'"

    Why don't you point out where the story is wrong.

    If you can not do that the shut the fuck up.

    Don't give these bozos any publicity.

    Unixware, SCO Unixware, SCO Unix, everything SCO touches turn to dog shit. They survive EXCLUSIVELY by business weight and marketing to stupid MBAs who don't know any better.

    At least Microsoft provides some tiny amount of value and a semi-stable OS (nowadays) to go with their FUD and pump.
