This article needs more neutral language and some references. Starting with this edit all sorts of unsourced claims were added. Might be best to just revert. heqs 12:01, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Version history
Does anyone have information about UnixWare's version history? As I understand it, UnixWare 7 succeeded UW 2, switching from SVR4.2 to SVR5. But what, for example, were the last releases by Novell and old SCO? Qwertyus 20:52, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unixware apologist
this article has been written by a Unixware apologist. It is hardly critical enough of a product almost totally ignored by the market.
Novell bought Unixware when Netware was close to its height. It did not "fail to save" Netware, it actually contributed to Novell's lack of focus and Netware's decline. That's not to dispute that Unix offered an application platform for Novell which filled a hole in its portfolio. However at a time when it needed to pour massive marketing resources behind its once and for all claim to fame, Netware, it fluffed around with side issues, such as Unixware. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.246.2.221 (talk) 22:12, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article doesn't tell you anything about UnixWare
The big problem with this article is that it doesn't tell you anything about the subject it purports to be about. What is UnixWare, what does it do, etc. should be the core of the article. Is there anyone out there qualified to write this. Otherwise I'd be inclined to propose the article for deletion until such time as someone feels able to take it on.

[edit] Legal issues
I removed, "Novell is the owner of the UNIX and UnixWare Copyrights, except copyrights for improvements made by Santa Cruz Operation or SCO Group" because it's a little confusing, and out of context. First of all, there's no explanation of the underlying lawsuit, so the average reader isn't going to understand (or perhaps care about) it at all. Also, SCO Group does own the UnixWare copyrights for modifications they or their predecessors (Santa Cruz Operation and Caldera) made themselves after the September 1995 Asset Purchase Agreement.
