It said: "older" , older than what?  Okay so MPE/iX still has this "older"
and "proprietary" labels attached to it.  Can't they discribe Unix as
ancient and with some indication that everyone has a different version?

an April 15 dateline.  (See:

ZD-Net starts picking up on it, you now it's only a matter of time before
the main stream press gets it since they "control" so many of the computer
publications now.
