A recent article by Tony Smith from The Register titled "Mac OS X 10.3 Panther will not be a 64-bit OS" caused a good deal of confusion with many people, including me. It is also caused a heated argument here on OSNews. The basic point of the article is that Mac OS 10.2.7 and 10.3 are not "true" 64-bit OSes, but the article does not clearly explain what a "true" 64-bit OS is. This had led to a lot of claims that the article is false or misinformed, rather than just unclear, which is certainly is.

I wouldn't mind having a PPC970 workstation with AIX on it, i've never used AIX, my *nix experiences are solely from Tru64, Irix, and Linux. What do people think of it as a system as oppose to other Unix's?
