SCO is run by a bunch of scum-sucking maggots, and a press release touts their new service pack for their crappy product. I had to comment on this...
"The two key features of the service pack are that it allows OpenServe administrators to to connect their systems to USB-compatible devices, including USB 1.1- and 2.0-compatible printers, and that it includes the object-relational database management system, PostgreSQL"
So, SCO's shitty software can now connect to USB devices. What a coup, except for the fact that USB devices have been around for like 5 YEARS now. Wheeeee, what a breakthrough! Man, leave it to SCO to be on the cutting edge. (cough, cough)
Second, SCO's lame-ass software now includes "PostgreSQL", a little-known database application that is a worthless piece of crap. They couldn't use mySQL (because that would work better and be faster), so they picked PostgreSQL. Ooooh, I'm dizzy from all the innovation.
Google results for "mysql": about 16,100,000
Google results for "postgresql": about 3,280,000
In other words, there are about 5 times as many people using/coding for mySQL as Postgesql. Way to go, SCO- pick a loser, then announce it as if it was a smart move. Yeah.
In other news, buggy-whip companies reported lower earnings this quarter....
