This doesn't really say much. Note that AT&T is not committing to much
of anything; in particular, there is no commitment from AT&T to support NFS.
Nor are dates specified for any of AT&T's commitments. Most of the things
Sun is committing to are things they have done already (such as making NFS
available to OEMs under a licencing arrangement) or have to do to remain
competitive (support the base system V application interface).
Also, note that there is no commitment on either side that
there will be any convergence on window management or graphics standards.
This is unfortunate; the workstation industry, both users and applications
software vendors, needs such standards badly.
