An anonymous reader has found a 2001 Caldera press release still on SCO's website. For those who are new, Caldera later changed its name to The SCO Group. I think it is of value to support Kurt Wall's recollection that Caldera's Ransom Love backed AIX 5L, even after Project Monterey was over and thought it would benefit his company. The press release has a subhead, "OpenLinux Server 64 to Supplement AIX 5L," and it says this: Caldera’s 64-bit Linux offering complements its recently announced AIX 5LTM technology – a UNIX system solution developed with IBM® for Itanium based systems. The combination of AIX 5L with Linux affinity feature and OpenLinux Server 64 provide the industry with the most complete suite of platforms to deploy Linux solutions on Itanium based processors. Caldera describes itself as "the global leader 'Unifying UNIX with Linux for Business'." Nowadays I'd describe Caldera, now calling itself the SCO Group, as the global leader in saying you can't unify Linux with UNIX, but that was then and this is now. What changed? I'd say it's the management of Caldera, now SCO.

The press release is from 2001, not 1991! :-)
Thought it sounded strange that anybody was talking about 64 bit linux in 91
:-)

The marketing spin may be "unifying unix and linux", but technically
that doesn't seem to be what it's describing.
Rather, this is a version of Linux (OpenLinux Server 64), and a version of
Unix(TM) which has some ability to run linux programs (the Linux affinity
feature).[ Reply to This | # ]

The main point that the press release illustrates is that Caldera, in pitting
Linux against its own Unix business, is itself more at fault for destroying the
Unix business. Yeah I know they said "complement," but the the market
thought otherwise, and they helped it. So why accuse IBM?[ Reply to This | # ]

The PowerPC FAQ of Applefritter had some things to
say about project Monterey:
"AIX is IBM's proprietary UNIX for
the POWER and PowerPC architectures. It runs on various PowerPC workstations and
servers (e.g., RS/6000) and boards from companies such as Motorola and
CETIA.
Currently, IBM and SCO are teaming up to share technologies
between AIX and SCO's UNIX technologies. This is the first step in Project
Monterey, which outlines a new UNIX that will run on PowerPC, x86, and IA-64
platforms."

History is History
Once an agent, then always an agent.
The laws of Agency prevail. This FACT that an actual, apparent, or obstensible
agent acted or failed to act in the present or the past creates an event where a
principle is bound. The ACT is historical because of FACT.
The Monterey event is another fact that SCOx is trying to change but it can not
erase the ACTs of agents (both past and present). Liability of the acts of
present agents, who might be attempting to erase the acts of past agents, is now
in question. SCOx needs to watch it'self as they have stockholders making
decisions based on their FUD, they have partners, they have competitors, rhey
have customers, all who are indeed watching and who have real lawyers who will
advise them if they have been harmed...

Methinks it is the writer of this
article (Kurt Wall) who has no clue as to the meaning of the Groklaw articles on
Project Monterey, IBM's intentions concerning the POWER processor, and the SCO
lawsuit against IBM.
Specifically, ya'll, SCO claims no knowledge of
Monterey working on POWER as the (latest) basis of their charges against IBM.
Ms. Jones' articles simply point out the untruth of SCO's claim. In fact, the
contention by SCO in court against IBM that Monterey was never intended for
POWER processors is the baffling occurance.
"It has been baffling to read
of the "revelation" that Monterey would run on POWER, when it was well known to
all from the outset. More facts don't make a better argument."
No, the
bafflement is why SCO says Monterey was never intended for POWER. This is why
Jones is presenting proof that it was known to them.
"We understand that
the stories have already been modified to reflect input from outside the Groklaw
forum itself - some of the phrases we quote have already disappeared - and a
further article explaining the saga will follow."
Having proven he
hasn't a clue why the information was presented, Kurt Wall now proves he hasn't
a clue how Ms. Jones keeps her site up to date with current
information.
Editorial revisions are not a conspiracy to hide anything, and
now Wall claims revisions in response to his article -- an article completely
and amazingly unaware of what is going on in SCO vs. IBM. Certainly information
Wall "discussed" here isn't worthy of considering itself the cause of Jones'
updates.
In fact, I'd say the article is proof of how "no clue"
unknowledgeable your own editors are on the lawsuit. Embarrasing content, at the
least, to see coverage of an "amateur" by a "professional" make a fool of the
professionals.
