The scariest thing for me is how a really good company with a really good product can, through the intervention of boardroom lunatics, be converted to a trolling organization that tarnishes everything it touches. SCO OpenServer and UnixWare ran thousands of point of sale and restaurants and other types of set it and forget it use cases. They had good product well supported by a channel of VARs - people making a good living at it. To toss all that away was a disaster.
And now, SCO tech lives on in a gray limbo netherworld, like OS/2 with Arca Noae: in one case because of trolling and the other because of the tides of history. Such a sad end.
