So AIX will definitely go away...
</snip>

I think before you folks write the AIX epitaph,  I would wait for IBM to
make some announcements.  AIX is still quite viable in marketplace and I
know of no plans to leave it.  Also, there are quite a few iSeries that do
not run Power4 technology, the first processor that has the P4 is the i825.
The Model 800 and the i810 do not have the P4 chip in them.  If the power
technology goes away with AIX, then why is IBM spending Billions to build
the plants that produce them?  Also, they shipped something north of
several MILLION of the P4 processors.   They did not ship nearly that many
iSeries or pSeries  ;-(.   The P4 does something no one else can do, use
copper silicon substrate.  P5 soon and P6 on the horizon.  Too much
speculation and not enough fact floating around...
