“…IBM’s director of Unix strategy Deepak Advanti last week
agreed that where IBM would have talked about UnixWare one year ago
it is now talking about Linux.”
“Where two years ago we would not have thought of Linux as
the volume 32bit operating system, over the course of the last year
it has become dominant,” he said.”
“Advanti said that IBM’s Unix strategy now has three key
elements — none of which includes UnixWare. “We will push AIX as
an open enterprise-class strategic operating system, we will push
Linux as the pervasive high volume operating system, and we will
create a common application programming interface across Linux and
AIX.”
