IBM currently sells OS/390, OS/400 and AIX while also pushing Linux and only recently stopped selling OS/2. I think it's quite likely that Solaris would have just joined the list.
- gaius 17y agoIBM GS would happily sell you Solaris services, but there's no way they'd port Solaris to POWER.
- hapless 17y agoSolaris 2.5 and 2.5.1 were ported to IBM PReP systems in the 90s. You could order certain models of PPC workstation with AIX, Solaris, Windows NT, or OS/2 preloaded.
- gaius 17y agoHaha, I remember when you could get Windows NT on SPARC too... Not the same thing as being a real product tho'.
