AIX runs on SystemP, not Xseries. If anything its bad for Sun, as its another reason not to buy Sun hardware. AIX6 just came out with loads of new features, and IBM just released the monster Power6 processor. None of which really indicate that IBM will kill AIX anytime soon. If IBM kills anything it will be I5/OS. (AS/400) God help us if Solaris and Linux are the only two UNIX OS's left. I'd rather go get my MCSE. ;) All this means that Solaris X86 will have drivers for IBM Xseries hardware. AIX runs on SystemP, not Xseries.
