"Unix vendor Santa Cruz Operation said its Project Monterey initiative has gained new original equipment manufacturers and ISV partners and is poised to deliver a new operating system concurrently with Intel's IA-64 chip.

Project Monterey is a joint venture among SCO, IBM, Sequent, and Compaq to deliver a high-volume, enterprise-class Unix operating system. Intel has targeted the second half of next year for shipment of IA-64."

"...SCO said it has added South Korean electronics giant Samsung to a list in nine OEMs that are supporting the project. ... Other OEMs who support the project include Acer, Bull, CETIA (a subsidiary of Thomson-CF), ICL, and Unisys."
