- I believe that OSF has announced that they are getting out of the OS
- business and that 1.1 (which is just a "bug fix" release of 1.0, which
- was based on AIX and is not a mach kernel) will be the last OS from OSF.
- This was written up in recent (July?) issues of both UNIX World and
- UNIX Review. The current issue of one of these (sorry I get them confused)
- has a quote from someone at HP to the effect that HP has abandoned any
- plans for adopting OSF.

- I don't know if OSF 1.0 was shipped by HP but OSF 1.0 had big problems.
