I certainly agree that AT&T has missed the boat.  Because of their arrogance
and incompetence, the UNIX market has splintered.  Maybe their alliance with
SUN with help give them a clue of what people want.

I expect AIX to be a very good OS in the future.  It looks like IBM is fixing
some of the big problems with Sys V UNIX like security and tape utilities.

Hopefully the increased competition will make AT&T improve.

Does anyone out there have any experience with AIX or Mach?  Enquiring minds
want to know.
