I love it when somebody quotes me! Somebody is listening. I had this discussion with one of our customers yesterday. It really does/should boil down to the OS experience you have on hand. Does the AIX platform have more capacity/performance than the best Windows platform? I'm guessing it probably does. But at what cost? And then more importantly: do either of the platforms have enough for you? If both do, then pick the one that makes more sense based on your OS experience. And remember: one can always divide and conquer.
