Chedck with FreeEdgar for when they file their 10k data and that may give you the rest of the info you need (always review their 10k and the language contained therein...it gives a lot of indicators you may use to couch inquiries.

That may be more difficult.  Outside of customer testimonials and google searches of people on lists looking fof help with SCO related issues, you will be hard pressed to find such data.  Plus you run into the problem that much of SCOs hardened base wont leave because many of the reasons that CSO survives is due to highly specialized niche apps that only run on SCO (particularl;y in the banking and hospital/health realms).  Its a good goal, but I never said it would be easy ;)

t is however, a track worth doing some due diligence into.
