I had the same impression during the timeframe that Compaq bought
out Digital; I was working for Digital at the time in their UNIX
group (and I'm still here/there, doing Compaq Tru64 UNIX now). And,
I must say that I was quite taken aback when I was told what Compaq's
annual system volume was for SCO-based Intel server systems back
then. I don't know offhand if I'm at liberty to divulge that information,
but it was fairly significant. Over the years, I've noticed a lot of
car dealerships, video/DVD rental companies and so forth who had
dumb terminals running an application being served by a SCO UNIX
box in the back room.

But, things change over time, and that was then, and this is now.
It will be interesting to see if Linux can supplant SCO in the marketplace.
And, that is strictly MHO, and not that of Compaq or any other entity.
