huh??? HP has a bigger Unix market share than AIX - any software company who provides Unix solutions supports HPUX - Aix is a distant third to Sun and HP in the Unix Market. as far as OSF - i remember that Scott McNealy called this "Oppose Sun Forever" becasue it was a consortium of competetive vendors like Digital, IBM, etc who tried to pigeonhole Sun - Sun however was nowhere near the dominant player that it is today and certainly doesnt have the market share which constitutes a monopololy like Microsoft does on the desktop so resisting OSF was a business decision and not a monopolistic effort to control standards.
