  No, I have had SCO beta releases, and this is not it. The point of
early release is to limit the # of calls to support until the people get
up to speed (so SCO tells me).

  The product has been usefully robust. We have just started running a
reasonable user load, having gotten a working server upgrade, and we
will be running a number of user on it.

  Only problems of note so far are that the 2 user system will only run
one user (for us, SCO says it works), and we haven't gotten it to work
with a nameserver yet, a must on a net with net changes daily (2k+
nodes).
