Mr. McBride. "We have a number of key technologies coming out in
the next couple of quarters that will drive value for our
customers; Sandy's focus will be a win-win for them. Those
expanding their IT infrastructure into the mobile space will see a
solid solution in SCO Mobile Server, with its UNIX technology
backbone. Customers simply needing updated core SCO UNIX technology
will have greater capabilities as well as future mobile plug and
play functionality." The SCO Group entered the high-growth mobile
market several years ago and according to IDC's 2007 Worldwide
Mobile Middleware Forecast* it has recently moved into the
leadership quadrant with other mobile technology leaders. Most
recently, Sandy Gupta was Chief Technology Officer and General

engineering group. During this time, Gupta worked with strategic
ISV partners -- including Progress, Oracle, Computer Associates and
others -- on their ports to SCO UNIX platforms. Gupta then moved to
the SCO UK escalations group and led the 24x7 enterprise
escalations engineering team. He also led the SCO eCommerce and Web
Services initiative in 2003. Before joining SCO, Gupta worked for
Fujitsu ICL in the United Kingdom. During this engagement, Gupta
contributed tremendous effort to the core kernel team at ICL that

System V on the SPARC platform. Prior to this experience, Gupta
started his career as an intern scientist at Indian Space and
Research Organization (ISRO). "After having worked at SCO for over
a decade, I am thrilled to better serve our customers and partners
in this new capacity," said Sandy Gupta, President of SCO
Operations, Inc. "As our primary focus, we will strengthen and
expand our UNIX product offerings to our partners and reinvigorate
our channels in doing so. The SCO UNIX partner and customer
