Unix != universal standard.
Next best thing.
Actually I would like to know how the desktop world would look

had Apple bought BeOS instead.
This would mean no UNIX on the desktop, assuming Apple would

Linux would have still taken off... and UNIX would still be
relevant on the
server market. :)
Linux took off because it provided a way to port UNIX software at
cost zero.
The companies where I developed in commercial UNIX platforms they
only used Linux as a way to avoid paying UNIX licenses, not
because Linux was something great.
The enterprise world only cares about money.
