You have to admit.

You have to admit. SCO had style. Naming an OS UnixWare is cool af and setting their brand colors as the default CDE theme is cool af too. And it looks nice.

@merlin
I can't bring myself to say anything positive about SCO or Darl McBride. (and the "UnixWare" name came from AT&T + Novell)

@jbowen @merlin Xinuos owns UnixWare now. SCO is long dead.

@mos_8502 @merlin
I honestly lost track and didn't know that UnixWare was still around at all.

I just don't want to give SCO credit for anything other than being a source of problems in the industry.

@merlin new unix distro, Merlix

@merlin Sorry, no. In a time when any random hacker would drool over an SGI and its wacky X environment, or an RS/6k with its many IBM idiosynchrasies, or SPARC server one would potentially upgrade to processors-a-go-go... SCO was the shameful cousin noone wanted to be seen with.

Boring company running software on boring hardware. Later upgraded to inept evil company.

@merlin The UnixWare name came from Novell, before SCO acquired it. Novell bought it from Unix System Laboratories.
