Hi Denis, sorry for the delayed response, a combination of being both
busy and lazy (my specialty) but I'll look at SCOC a little more closely
this weekend from a TA angle.

In the interim,

Following are a couple of recent links and an excerpt off Briefing Com. from
a couple of weeks ago...my apologies if they have already been posted.

BRIEFING.COM: Tarantella is one of the most intriguing ideas we have seen at Briefing.com. As a Java
based application broker, Tarantella sits between a traditional application server and browsers on any client
and acts as a "universal interface" for any application. How is this different from a Citrix Systems interface
product? How has Tarantella been received in the marketplace so far, and what is SCO's strategy for
marketing Tarantella?

Mr. Michels: "Tarantella is very exciting for SCO. It is a new product that has already gained tremendous
mindshare in the marketplace. Customers such as NASA, MCI and MovieFone are already using Tarantella
to move into the next era of network computing.

"Citrix Systems' focus is on Windows applications. They have helped Windows NT gain multi-user features
and have made Windows NT 4 Terminal Server Edition accessible by non-windows clients. Tarantella's
focus is on diverse enterprise applications, such as those that run on UNIX and mainframe systems, as well as
Windows applications. Tarantella makes these applications accessible through standard Web browsers and
enables secure access for
remote users or customers utilizing existing internet, intranet and dial-up communications. Tarantella offers
dramatic cost savings as it eliminates the need to re-engineer these
applications for the Web.

"SCO's strategy for Tarantella is to focus on the large enterprise where its unique scalability, high reliability,
and security are of most immediate value. SCO is working with systems
integrators and partners who want to deliver a universal Web interface and remote access as part of their
enterprise solutions."
