I too will wait for Carly to make the announcement but, I ask HP at a rug meeting if they were going to kill HP-UX the same way the killed the 30000 server.  
They replied that there's was no intention of getting rid of HP-UX because of it large installed base.

Don't hold your breath and try to remember all the broken promises HP made about the 3000 servers back in 2001.

If HP does kill HP-UX it will put the final nail in their coffin to prove they can't be trusted.


these comments are my own and not my employers.

Identify your sources and I'll be able to decide.

Until I hear Winston Prather ... uh, I mean Carly ... say it, I won't
believe it. HP-UX will not be killed the way MPE was, simply because
the business environment ("ecosystem") for HP-UX is very much
different from the one MPE lived in.
