I'll agree with that sentiment.  I'd likely have moved to ODT by now if
not for the fact that the COMPLETE package (ODT + Multi-user upgrade +
development system) costs not ~$1000 but ~$4000.

I've wondered for a while now however if this high price is a reflection of
lot's of goodies being included.  What is the price, for example, of an
unlimited user SCO Unix + Dev sys + XSight ?
