Buzzwords.
The Shorter Oxford English dictionary describes enterprise as:
1. A design of which the execution is attempted; a piece of work
taken in hand; now only, a bold, arduous or dangerous
undertaking.
2. Disposition to engage in undertakings of difficult, risk or
danger; daring spirit.
3. Management.
Take your choice :-)

More to the point, does *anybody* use SCO with more than 16
processors? I have a strong suspicion that it doesn't scale nearly as
well as Linux.
