If you're actually supporting SCO then you are at best extremely
naive! Can you not see that the management of the company you are
blindly suporting has absolutely no interest in you, or any other
vendor? They are actively killing your revenue stream with their
actions.
I can see why you would try to put on a brave face in front of
customers, since you are, after all, making money by giving them a
very very bad deal, but I'm surprised you're actually trying to fool a
technical newsgroup with this charade.

I'm not claiming any other particular system is "better". Although SCO
is the worst option for virtually anything these days. Do you actually
feel *good* after convincing some company to pay ludicrous amounts of
money for a dead OS, which is vastly out-performed by the competition?
It reminds me of the news stories of travelling criminals who fool
little old ladies into paying all their life savings to have their
(perfectly good) roof tiles replaced. In short, advising anyone to buy
SCO software is unethical and possibly unlawful (as SCO continue to
distribute their software with lots of GPL'ed code although they claim
the GPL is illegal).
>You're against SCO, this is your opinion and a big "thank you" for
>letting us know about that is in order;
Not just me, Roberto. I'm a member of a community, and unless you've
been living under a rock (along with McBride and his cohorts, one
presumes) you'll realise SCO have enraged a huge number of people, and
companies. The fact they've been contributing to open source projects,
yet now claim the community have "stolen" from them, the fact they
refuse to provide ANY evidence of this theft, the blatant stock price
manipulation, the daily lies to the more gullible members of the
media... etc... etc... etc...

>true (which makes 2 in a single post, nice one :-).
The second statement is far closer to the truth than you probably like
to admit to yourself. SCO are second only to Microsoft in the opinion
of most of the open source world. They are the worst type of corporate
scum, trying to ride the coat-tails of a successful operating system
(Linux) by leeching off of its users after their own market has
failed.

So I should ask YOUR permission before posting? Only messages
containing grovelling praise for SCO maybe? Sorry Roberto, but you
can't bury your head in the sand here. This is a public forum and I'm
entitled to my opinion, no matter what happens in your country...
