I MAY BE WRONG, but can you name me a MAJOR (Fortune 500) manufacturer
besides AT&T that offers UNIX as their only operating system?  If I am
right, you will find they offer UNIX as an alternative OS.  Your statement
would have us believe that the world's second largest manufacturer of
computers can't compete with just a proprietary OS.  Would you also have
us believe that IBM is doomed if they don't drop their proprietary OS's
and convert to UNIX?  If so, please contact me concerning this bridge in
NYC I know about. :-)
