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.

I don't know about better, but it certainly didn't have as many customers. The story goes that while the VMS move from VAX to Alpha showed how well a transition of architectures can be managed, DEC's Unix transition was handled very badly. As a result, Digital Unix slipped into the middle tier of Unix vendors and never fought its way back to the top.
Oh, and thanks for the NUMA links, guys!
