Using usenet as part of the formula is ridiculous.I've worked with SCO systems since the mid 80's and can assure you there are many thousands of them out there today. SCO is very big in point of sale, manufacturing and especially patient information systems (next time you go to the doctor check out the computer system).
I was in a SCO biz meeting with about 30 vars back in 1996.. we were all starting to use Linux in our businesses then and pleaded with SCO to get on the bandwagon... SCO insisted nothing would ever come of Linux. And their late start ended up costing them dearly.
I recently talked with SCO reps about using their OpenLinux email/webmail product... but the licensing costs were enough to make any potential customer gag.
I've made a good living from working with SCO systems... but I agree that their current behavior is despicable and just plain bad for *NIX business interests in general.
Perhaps all my SCO memorabilia will become valuable as collector items on eBay someday soon.
