IBM, along with an aggregation of … partners, is building
another Unix operating system with the goal of building the leading
Unix for Intel.
… the 64-bit OS is expected to be delivered within 18
months.
The initiative would produce the leading Unix on Intel because
of “volume, shrink-wrap economies, great features, and wide support
by ISVs and systems vendors,” said John Minor, enterprise-server
group vice president at Intel.
