Actually, the SCO products were very popular in the corporate world 
until RHEL/Workstation and SLED started to erode their traditional 
base. They are also well known in Europe. At one time I had SCO running 
on my system here, but I never liked SCO Xenix or SCO Unix. Note that 
Xenix was Microsoft's port of Unix to the desktop. Santa Cruz had a 
worldwide sales and support operation. 

The issue for Linux is that until the Novell and IBM cases are resolved 
in the courts, it remains a hindrance. Look for SCO to try to foist 
their bogus Linux licenses on corporate clients. It is certainly worth 
100,000,000 to those whose business is being hurt by Linux, such as 
Microsoft.
