Technical Details
SCO UNIX is the successor of Microsoft's Xenix, created after Microsoft transfered ownership of Xenix to SCO in the late 1980's. The first version of SCO UNIX was a basic desktop OS, but has become an integrated product with add-ons as SCO Open Desktop, became an OS for online services as SCO OpenServer. Today, SCO OpenServer is the most widely-used version of SCO Unix, used in small and medium businesses, in banks, stock exchanges, and database servers.
Character Details
SCO Unix-tan is Xenix-tan's daughter, represented as a stern-looking business woman with short blue hair, glasses, and a suit. She is a member of the Linux/Unix Consortium, has hordes of lawyers, a belligerent attitude, notorious for filing lawsuits against those who wrong her, justified or not. She is highly paranoid, and believes that Linux-tan is a direct Unix descendant come to overthrow the traditional Unix Family, and is sworn enemies with her. For this reason, she also doesn't trust the Linux-tans.
Her arch-rivals include AIX-tan, Linux-tan, Red Hat Linux-tan, SuSE-tan, and UnixWare-tan.
SCO Unix-tan's lawsuit-happy attitude is a reference to SCO's lawsuits against Novell, claiming that SCO still owned the copyright to UNIX and Unix Ware, when it turned out that Novell is.
She has a lot of enemies, but is liked by the professional Windows-tans.
