Just to make a point...there are more than IBM and Unisys in the (what I
believe to be the true, IMHO) mainframe game.
There's Groupe Bull, Fujitsu-Siemens, Fujitsu and Hitachi. (Not all are
available in the USA, two due to legal reasons.)
And the F-S systems have their own version of Unix that can run under their
own hypervisor (VM2000).
IMHO these are dead or moribound players.
Who heard about *new* GCOS customer ?
Who saw *new* BS2000 installation ?
Those players rather talk about customers they have *yet*.
BTW: AFAIK Fujitsu, Hitachi and Siemens had servers more-or-less
compatible with IBM. Even software component names of BS2000 looks very
familiar.
