I disagree.  AIX is the basis of OSF/1 (Andy Rooney -- Didja ever notice
how companies are all calling their products "slash-something"? :-).  This
in itself gives AIX a big step toward catching up.  Whether or not this was
done to ensure IBM remaining in OSF is a moot point.  It is done.  My guess
is that IBM will stop new releases of AIX and replace with OSF/1 releases.
Of course, I am only an "end user", so I have no say in these matters!
