Hm.  Given how the IBM changed the strategy wrt AIX in recent few years - they switched from
considering AIX to be a dead end to be replaced by Linux to considering Linux "AIX for the
less fortunate" - HP might want to reconsider.

I don't know.. I do not see a large upswell in AIX purchases with that new formula. The number
of AIX systems is continuing to go down in relation to Solaris and Linux.
