I recently received a information from a company called Continua, Inc. 
offering the SCO Open Server Desktop 5.0 for the PC at a price of $269.  
I checked and the list price for this seems to be just under $800, so 
this appears to be more than a $500 saving.  It appears to be a complete 
version of Unix including full networking and comes with all Internet 
sofware and GUI support.  What other questions should I be asking about 
this product before I buy?  Does anyone know anything about the product, 
or the company and the offer?

The company lists itself as:

Continua Inc.
