Indifferent?  How about deliberately downright hostile?!
The history of HP-UX is littered with discarded hardware ... much of which
ended up in our computer room :(   (9000/350, 9000/834)
 
HP has little to be proud of, and much to be ashamed of in HP-UX.
(Ranging from internal (dropped features & backwards incompatibilities
in HP-UX 8.0 to 9.0 to 10.0) to external (ramrodding HP-UX over MPE/iX).)
