Lauren,

I purchased my Coherent from Mark Williams direct. I paid the normal
fee (no educational or anything). I got ONE release with a hell of
a lot of bugs. When I called them for help I got a run arround.
After several months I sent them a MCI letter asking them why I never
got updates or anything. I got a phone call that said they would 
send me something undefined. That was about 5 months ago and still
NOTHING. 

I am persoanlly sick of companies that try to give the look of 
a real business but act like garage attic hackers. My experiences with
SCO on Xenix are exactly the opposite. They are a professional
operation that understands that people need to use their systems NOt just 
pay for them. I wanted Unix on the PC for real honest work and expected
real support!!!.

I will be happy to expand on this if anyone likes.

Sick and tired 

Dave
