My system is my home PC. I do have ~10-15 users that dial in but only I
have access to VP/ix. The dial in users are mostly Usenet readers. They
have their own home PCs and their own wordprocessing software. Since
DOS software is cheaper (and what I am forced to use at work), I put
up with the few abnormalities of VP/ix.
Unix will never have the market share of dos because:
1. System administration/installation is far too complex for the ordinary
MS-DOS user.
2. MS-DOS software is generally *much* less expensive.
