As I understand it, "Open Desktop" is SCO's name for the combination of:

-	X11/Motif
-	IXI's X.desktop (provides an icon-based user interface)
-	Ingres (DBMS?)
-	NFS
-	A DOS emulator

-	(Maybe more?)

Anyway, at least some of this is already available on 386/ix.  I'm using
their X11/Motif, and *have* their TCP/IP stuff (hope to be using it soon)
- I don't know if they've got NFS.  I know they've got a DOS emulator
(VP/ix?) [why anyone would want this is left as a puzzle for the reader].

So, I doubt you'll see "Open Desktop" on 386/ix anytime soon.
