A similar sort of thing happened in Sperry Univac when VS/9 was competing against OS/1100.

Fortunately, Sperry merged with Burroughs to make Unisys, which then began the cycle all over again.

'crown jewels') maybe they will quote your comments.

It would be real interesting to know what the internal political and
