I found this article quote to be of interest:

In a similar vein, I was surprised that with Microsoft's
relation to SCO, that Vista did not become Microsoft SCO Unix,
with legacy Windows application compatibility and their
antivirus acquisition to provide coverage in SCO, so that
those using older versions of Windows over the 'net would not
become tainted through pass-ons.
That would have provided some mean competition, especially in
regards to Apple with their Open BSD based offering.
However, c'est la vie.
