It is nothing personal, but due to the recent actions of SCO I really loathe the company and I will do nothing to help them, or even inderectly by helping their users. I presume it might not be up to you to decide which OS your company is running, but if you have any influence over the decision makers, you might want to point out that SCO has managed to make millions of Linux users furious and has attacked giants such as IBM. From what I have heard, SCO Unix is not very competent, and boss Carl McBride has a history of suing people right and left: http://www.economist.com/business/displayStory.cfm?story_id=2020889 Even if SCO is unaffected as a company (and I think it will be affected) they have managed to gather en enormous amount of bad will from the tech community. I for one will be happy when the company is dead, the sooner the better.
