AIX is a different platform. It is alive and well. The pSeries hardward that runs it is very competitive with other enterprise UNIX environment.

This dubious article is about zSeries. The ascestor of IBM Mainframes from the 60s/70s/80s/90s. For 10 years, IBM has been promoting Linux on the Mainframe.

Beyond that, I cannot tell what this article intended to convey. The article on Reg is much better.

What happen to their AIX? End of AIX?

What's wrong with the industry lately? SGI's gone, Sun got sold...
All is left is the shi_y stuffs...

Geez, could the author spin this subject even more before actually reporting on the story? It isn't even clear what kind of zServer the author is talking about. Is this FOX News or something?
