Finally we'll be able to play Angry Lumia game where one crushes obstacles with a Nokia phone. Oh wait this won't work with Windows Mobile phones, I am thinking Symbian and older...
Many of AIX's features have been there prior to AIX 6 arriving...
Basically you get what you pay for - Solaris's cheap compared to AIX (not long term wise).
- Work load partitions ? Yes like Zones, except partitions can be moved online from platform to platform...
- SMF ? AIX had managed services years ago.
- Volume manager aware of the filesystem that's on it? Was in AIX years ago (expand filesystem & underlying volume in a single command, no - not through smitty).
- LDOMs ? Hey, LPARs are better and been around for years already (including virtual IO for NICs & SCSI).
- NFSv4 ? AIX had it already in 5.3.
- For more see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_AIX_(operating_sy stem)#Versions
(While I'm at it, Solaris 10 will support standardised ACLs, how long did Windows NT support these already for?)
By the time that happens (if ever) Windows will advance so much that the whole *nix community will be left in the dust when it comes to one single unified product.
"WinFS is not a file system"
Now they are using recursive acronyms as well.
Someone posted this on/. before, had to repost this one!
This is gonna be a M$ classic:)

You make it sound like Linux has to "catch-up" with windows :)
