I *hate* making assumptions. Which is why I did ask these questions already, long before I made this post. > That'd be SGI, I guess. ;-} Just because the company was ruined by its management, doesn't automatically mean that the engineers working there were somehow incompetent. And let me be quite honest: if IRIX were ever to be open sourced, OpenSolaris wouldn't stand a chance. For all his slickness, OpenSolaris is like a Concord compared to a Stealth fighter as far as Solaris vs. IRIX comparison is concerned.
