Don't forget the one common "Unix" thread that all the big boys have:
Linux. Heck; until this announcement, the lead story on HP's own web

a "highlight" Linux piece up there right now.)
Until this morning, I was convinced that IBM might some day buy VA Linux;
now I think that HP could be a real contender.
