Original OSNews Interviews Today we host an interview with Christophe de Dinechin, Software Architect in HP-UX (Software business unit, Infrastructure Solutions). Most of you already know HP-UX, the leading "traditional" UNIX today feature-wise (second only to Solaris in Unix market-share, mostly competing with AIX). With Christophe we discuss HP-UX's competition, the other... 5 OSes HP supports with its various products, the Itanium platform and more.

Yes, there's AMD efforts which provide 32/64-bit backwards compatibility (Intel are catching up with that towards the end of the year), but in 5 years time, I suspect the Itanium family will be the #1 64-bit server chip out there. Linux will have 50%+ of that 64-bit server market and the rest doled out between Solaris and Windows primarily...

I guess that explains why you're not an analytic. Linux might have some small market share as today but geeez, 50%? More like 5%. It's not even close to offering what Solaris offers...
