And speaking of problems with UNIX, the masters of the obvious at
Gartner revealed this week that they believe Linux is a much bigger
threat to UNIX than it is to Windows. The company says that 60 percent
of large enterprises will migrate 80 percent of their UNIX-based
applications to Linux by 2008. And after 2008, Gartner says, "most
vendors offering UNIX will provide OS maintenance support only,
continuing the trend several years into the next decade."

Get a customer who wants to run some CAD package like PTC or Unigrapics... they run great on a $50,000 IBM RS-6000. They will also run great on a $3500 PC, even if they don't want to run in a Windows environment. Hmmmm...
