Can anyone shed any useful light on this Reuters report that found its way out
as a little blurb on 3/17 Boston Globe biz pages:
Leading computer workstation makes will announce a common
operating system platform to head off new competition by
Microsoft Corp. in their high-end comuting environment,
analysts predicted. Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM, Sun Microsystems,
and other companies plan an announcement of a new version of
UNIX system software at the opening oof the UniForum Conference
in San Francisco. Industry sources say the companies will
announce they will develop a unitied operating system to
replace a patchwork of incompatible UNIX software. ...
Thanks,
Tim
