Big Blue announced today it is hooking up with Intel and several
other partners to develop a new Unix operating system that will run
on servers based on IBM and Intel microprocessors.
The plan is to take IBM’s existing Unix operating system AIX and
tweak it with technology from SCO’s Unixware and Sequent’s PTX
operating system. The result is to be a single Unix operating
system that will run on Intel’s IA-32, IA-64, and IBM
microprocessors.
