OT: Question re: SCO Use

[Tim Fischer]

You know, John's recent posts have brought up a good question to me.  
Why SCO?  I mean, I've noticed a lot of SCO based questions here.  Both 
FP shops that I've worked in were SCO shops when I started.  Is there 
some old relationship between FP & SCO?  Is there a general consensus 
here that SCO is better?  Easier?  Is it cheaper?  (I have no idea about 
licensing with them.)

Given SCO's current legal issues, I'm surprised that anyone would really 
want to rely on their stability and I, for one, wouldn't want to give 
them any of my money. 

I mean, why not FreeBSD, Linux, AIX, Solaris, etc?  Why SCO?

Just a question - not trying to start any wars or anything.
