What do you like best about SCO UnixWare 7?

As a computer systems analyst, I can fully appreciate the design, innovation, and technology behind this software. This software is highly revolutionary and literally, changes the way users apply it in the different aspects of their work. I specifically like the fact that IBM has taken a leap in designing the operating system with everything in place. One can find the area for systems compatibility The area for compatible drivers with the OS And the OS is flexible because it comes in CD-ROM as well bootable USB installation formats Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SCO UnixWare 7?

The operating system is good, but it is not so easy to download and not so easy to install. From my perspective, an average user cannot handle this operating system. It is too well advanced, making it challenging to use for average users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
