    No one really gives a fuck about PA-RISC chips, but the issues is that HP-UX only runs on PA-RISC chips. HP-UX is what people care about. It is the best damn commercial implementation of UNIX ever. And HP made just about the most stable hardware systems ever for it to run on. Now that whore is pissing it all away. I'll bet she'll piss linux away too. Turning HP into nothing but a microsoft shop on the level of Best Buy computer alise. No Vision, No guts, no skill, no hope: sums up HP management for the last 5 years?
