It's true that IBM is de-emphasizing AIX for now, but that's due to their
working on porting OSF/1. The last thing I heard (from the trade
magazines and IBM personnel) is that OSF/1 with an AIX layer should be
available somtime late next year. Actually I think almost every implementation
of OSF/1 will have an AIX front-end as the utilities for OSF/1 were derived
from the AIX versions. I think it's safe to say that IBM will keep selling
AIX for the PS/2. If OS/2 ever takes off they may not push AIX, but their
unlikely to just drop it. After all they have a better chance of selling
the RS/6000 into a company if they can get the companies existing PS/2's to
easily talk to the RS/6000.
