Is a Cray fast enough? it does run Unix. The Cray is faster than any
IBM mainframe, therefore Unix is better than VM/CMS, right? (I'm using your
own rationale).

The speed of the machine has nothing to do with whether you prefer Unix
or IBM's VM/CMS. You should be comparing an IBM mainframe running VM/CMS
with the SAME machine running Unix. And yes, you can run Unix on IBM
mainframes.
