- This isn't really fair. Domain was never really an HP OS, it was the Apollo
- OS. HP did its best to kill it as soon as possible, but the Domain users
- rebelled. HP tried to placate them with a longer lifespan to Domain, but it
- was never HP's real intention to keep Domain (or any of the Apollo line)
- around for very long after the takeover. Your point is well taken, though.
- Apollo users *really* got the shaft from HP.
