It is said: The roadmap is to kill AIX in the future. It makes sense, as Linux is selling more than AIX. And x86 is soon faster than POWER7. Sandybridge and Bulldozer is almost as fast as POWER7. Linux is cheaper than AIX, and x86 soon offers equal performance as POWER. IBM is already betting on Linux. If IBM executives say that AIX is going to be killed in the future and you claim it is not true - I expect you have links that support you. Otherwise you are just speculating. In short, AIX has not a bright future. But Solaris has. There are no really big applications that are used to drive AIX sales. But Oracle is an application company, and will use Solaris to drive application sales. I expect Solaris to grow it's user base. And Illumos will also grow. This is Solaris revival. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
