- HP doesn't wobble, it lists majestically... (ponderously?) :-)
-
- The last I heard about OSF was a few articles about it's
- multi-threading capabilities. It seems that the MACH kernel isn't
- really all that good. A few more years should first be spent in
- development. I think that HP is correct in not pushing OSF before
- it is ready. A working operating system is still better than the
- OS/2 embarrasment that IBM went through.
-
- Didn't HP actually ship a few OSF kernels to customers? They seemed
- to have pulled it back into HP development right quick :-)
