who cares how product is called? Unix is no more than a term that vaguely describes type of product, like x86 processors or Golf-class cars ect. IMHO SCO will be made example of how management without any clues can lead company to real bankrupcy of the firm who has been dead for many years and just wont die. -

My uncle ted says it belongs to him.
He won it in a crib game in 1978 and proudly has it nailed to his living room wall.
So all you big corps out there who are building enterprise systems using it had better watch out. He's a big bloke and gets quite punchy after a few pints.
