You're using an article 7 to 8 years old to base your conjecture?  Why would they \
spend millions developing AIX if it was being killed?

You also fail to realize transportation, finance, insurance, banking, retail, \
defense, and all sectors of the economy run AIX.  They have no intention of running \
their operations deemed critical to cheap x86 hardware running Linux.

POWER is the first chip to have decimal floating point on-chip!  

There is something to be said for developing your operating system to run on your \
hardware (AIX and POWER).  That way you can expoit RAS.  This isn't possible with x86 \
and Linux.  I have seen so many Linux servers crash with no explanation why.  \
Clusters that are unstable.  

AIX is stable.  That is what many companies want, so they continue to buy a solid \
architecture.

But whatever, kebabble.
