20 days after the purchase, IBM pulled out of Monterey, yet started to sell their Monterey/Power platform (aka AIX 5L). IBM essentially _squashed_ a _good_ Linux company overnight because it wanted to be the _only_ dual-UNIX/Linux vendor. It saw Monterey/IA-64 (UnixWare 8) as a competitor so it squashed it while it could.

Welcome to CentOS - I think I recognise some of this as recycled matter from SLUG or SLUG-politics list ;)
