“The Trillian Project to port Linux to Intel’s IA-64
architecture does not pose a threat to the Santa Cruz Operation
(SCO) or Project Monterey, according to Doug Michels, SCO’s
president and chief executive.
And the fact that IBM has signed up to the new Linux initiative
and will deploy both the Trillian and Monterey operating systems
(OSs) on its hardware does not show it is wavering in its
commitment either, he claimed.”
“…Trillian is not intended to make Linux an enterprise
class OS and there are no real efforts elsewhere to do so
either, he claimed.
‘Linux may be there sooner than 10 years, but I don’t see any
efforts there yet. Trillian is not that type of project and I don’t
see them adding enterprise class services or performance management
capabilities. Noone is doing it. SGI has made some noises and
people are talking about it, but it’s not coming this week, next
year or before Merced ships,’ he said.”
