question on laptops

[Nelson Coleman]

Sharon, Dave Burris of K.W.Burris http://www.kwburris.com/ has done the 
virtual machine concept for "old" SCO for a client.  Retaining the SCO 
was needed to provide compatibility with older software.   Although the 
virtual machine was done on a server, the rationale could be similar for 
a laptop and perhaps he can provide the technical expertise.

I have done this for customers in the past, but with all the laptop and hardware changes I don't know of any laptops that run SCO anymore. Has anybody had any luck on recent laptops and SCO....
