Sun Microsystems is trying to persuade Hewlett-Packard to move its HP-UX Unix customers over to Sun's Solaris, Sun President/COO Jonathan Schwartz said at the Open Source Business Conference in San Francisco on Tuesday. But HP is not interested, an HP representative said. During his presentation at the conference and in a subsequent interview, Schwartz said Sun has proposed merging the road maps of HP-UX and Solaris. And on a related note, HP will offer complete SUSE Linux server packages.

SGI is down the drain, thanks to Linux.
What a load of BS. I would love to see how you came to that conclusion and how you didn't even account for their complete change of clients and architecture. Switching to Linux was the least of the changes that went on at SGI. IRIX wouldn't have survived their switch to super computers anyway.
Novell shows red numbers and is no doubt going down the drain, thanks to Linux.
That's funny because as I remember it Novell wasn't doing so hot before they acquired SuSE and Ximian. It hasn't been a very long time since that happened. Change doesn't happen over night and with the looks of NLD 10 Novell finally has something to offer on the desktop that people will want.
