For the first time in several years, I'm not going to try the latest and
greatest from what was Caldera, now SCO Group, and their new playmates.
They essentially shit on their customers, laughed in their faces about
it, and said "We don't care what you think". Now when they want to
dangle a morsel in front of us and expect me to come back. Guess what?
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I just wonder if
Connectiva, SuSE, and Turbolinux considered that the would lose
customers because they partnered with someone who publicly insulted
their user base, and inasmuch told them to pack sand? AFAIC, Caldera dug
their own grave and pulled three others in with them. Sorry.

Hitchcock's Staple Principle:
The stapler runs out of staples only while you are trying to
staple something.
