A question on the popularity of SCO Unix

[Conway Yee]

I have been reading the thread on the deficiencies of SCO Unix especially
related to security.  If SCO Unix is just so difficult to deal with, why
is it so popular?  Why is competition from other versions of Unix
destroying SCO Unix?  What would be a suitable replacement?
