RE: linux vs MS (slight twist on the topic)

nothing to be proud of there...makes me feel really really old...  

but, gives perspective. until roughly 1993, informix sold more unix/xenix licenses than all of Oracle/Progress/Ingres/Unify combined.  

Any my employer at the time owned 33% of Informix and 50% of Wyse...we thought we were real hotdogs.  

See who can guess who the company was...now that would show who has their Unix chops
