Go read them, they're a laugh. Seriously.

I'll be properly concerned only if I hear some actual evidence, not hot air.

*lol*

My favourite trick to show someone Openserver: on the shell, hit "ls 
/us<TAB>" . It inserts 8 spaces as the tab. Backspace until you're back 
to just "ls /us" showing on the console, add the r, and hit enter.
	r: not found
why? Because, of course, the tab is only 1 char - but is not deleted as 
an 8x width char. *arrggh*.

Its sysadmin utilities have a lot going for them, but they're prone to 
permanant breakage. SCO is a very stalbe, reliable system - if you 
never, ever have to log in to it to do anything.
