Xinuous (the company birthed from SCO's ashes) has announced its new OpenServer X operating system. It is described as a "mature and proven 64-bit operating system to support your most critical line of business applications, yet is affordably priced to host all computing needs", and it is "the continuation and consolidation of all previous Xinuos product families, SCO OpenServer® 5 & 6 and SCO UnixWare® 7".
According to the announcement,
Beginning with OpenServer X, the download and installation of the operating system is offered free of charge by Xinuos and includes the source code. A support bundle is available for customers who need affordable support, maintenance, upgrades and access to the tested Xinuos Application Collection. The support is available 24/7 by default at a highly competitive price.
Also announced is the Xinuos Business One Developer Program,
The new program is designed to assist developers who wish to port existing applications or build new applications to run on OpenServer X™, their recently announced secure, BSD-based open source operating system. Application developers and other partners who need applications that run on the OpenServer X operating system can join the Xinuos Business One Developer Program and benefit from a growing number of resources to assist them at every stage of their business.

But I doubt if they'll get any new ones... the SCO brand name was shot to hell by the previous regime.

The SCO ashes should have been re-cremated seven times, half buried in the Mariana Trench and the other half shot off into space.
I used to work a lot on SCO in the mid 90's .. learned a lot of UNIX then that helps me even today with Linux. But the whole legal drama that dragged on - never want to hear of them again in any form, however re-constituted, cleansed, repented or repainted.
