Item 7.01.                                          Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On September 19, 2005 The SCO Group, Inc. issued a press release entitled “SCO Unveils Innovative Platform for Mobile Digital Services”, a copy of which is furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

 

Item 8.01.                                          Other Events.

 

The SCO Group, Inc. (“SCO”), a leading provider of UNIX® software technology for distributed, embedded and network-based systems, today announced an advanced networking platform, providing feature-rich consumer and business digital services for smart phones and other intelligent mobile devices. SCO’s Me Inc. digital services platform is being unveiled this week at the DEMO conference, the technology industry’s premier event for the unveiling of promising new products and services.

 

Me Inc. provides a new approach to mobile communications, collaboration and control that allows users of smart handheld devices, such as the Palm Treo, to be more productive and effective. In the near future, SCO plans to make Me Inc. available to users of other popular handheld devices such as RIM BlackBerry, and those that run Microsoft Windows Mobile and the Symbian OS.

 

Me Inc. operates using unique edge processor software technology running in a network-based UNIX or Microsoft Windows operating environment to simplify integration of mobile devices with backend resources. The Me Inc. edge processor offloads logic and data from end-point devices, enables secure, efficient access to enterprise and Internet-based information, services and resources, and enables a new level of coordination, communication and control for mobile work groups of any size.

 

Me Inc. has been a multi-year development effort by SCO and builds on technologies that the company gained through a Web Services technology acquisition in 2003.

 

The Me Inc. networking software platform is designed to allow service providers and carriers to create and deploy new digital services for a market that is seeing significant growth. According to IT industry research firm IDC, smart phones will make up approximately 85 percent of all intelligent mobile device shipments by the year 2007. Research from The Radicati Group indicates that the worldwide mobile workforce will grow from 17 percent of corporate professionals in 2004 to 89 percent in 2008.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The statements contained in this Item 8.01 regarding (i) SCO’s plans to make Me Inc. available to users of other handheld devices, (ii) the percentage of mobile device shipments that will be comprised of smart phones, and (iii) the predicted growth of the mobile workforce are forward-looking statements and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties.  SCO wishes to advise readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.  These factors include, but are not limited to, the possibility that Me Inc. will not perform as SCO anticipates, the possibility that Me Inc. will not be accepted in SCO’s targeted market or that the market will not grow as SCO anticipates and potential competitive pressure from others that may offer similar products and services in the targeted market.  These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated are discussed in more detail in certain of SCO’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
