O'pain Software Foundation: (1) problems with AT&T

Where are Mt. Xinu, Interactive Systems, and the rest of the companies that
only do Unix ports in this battle?  These should be the companies forming
consortiums to produce a "standard" Unix.  I think that the only way to have 
a "fair" and open operating system is to have it developed by a company that
does not make hardware.  If I were going to be making computers, it would 
be pretty stupid to rely on a major competitor for one of the most crucial 
parts of my system.

AT&T should get out of the computer business and go back to just producing
software, or quit making noises about creating an "open" system.
