General Unix I had the pleasure earlier this month of attending a demo day at HP's Cupertino campus to commemorate the ten year anniversary of the Superdome server, see what's new in the high-end server market and learn about what's going on with HP-UX.

of all the big guns of UNIX (IRIX, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, OpenVMS), HP-UX interests me in the least. Now if HP put its attention to 1 of its unix's OpenVMS would be my choice. At least it has some really unique offerings, it could have been the king had it been given proper funding and development. c'est la vi.

If HP starts throwing it's weight behind HP-UX that means that OpenVMS will be on life suport that much more. shame really.

edit: and yes I know IRIX is dead(ish), but it was cool and had a lot of industry first features when it was in active development, just like OpenVMS.
