Thanks for the information!
yes, you are right! OSX vs Vista was a bit of cheap shot
ugh, forgot that IBM had DOS/V stuff.
lolo, AIX is Apple
Really? M$ had XENIX ?!?!? I didn't know that. hmmm, I had always thought they just bought a DOS company and then beat IBM to the punch for Intel machines.
I did know that Word really got a kick start because of the Macintosh.
However, I'd wonder if XENIX was so good then why didn't it get more attention? (not being sarcastical here ... just really would like to know)
As for Sun ... I do agree it isn't the only reason but I don't think they are helping out the Opensource community just because they feel like it's "right thing to do" ... there has to be a bottom $ line to their actions.
Toaddy, one thing for sure, your major is definitely being useful here
( I'd go to paradise though
)
