It looks as if IBM is following Sun. Several questions: does anyone here work at either IBM or an AIX-using site? If so, are you planning to run the open beta?
And, does anyone remember the downloadable versions of Solaris (8, 9) prior to OpenSolaris? This reminds me of that. How long do you think it'll take before IBM decides that the best way to keep its AIX running is to release the source under a suitable Open Source license? We live in interesting times.
