Actually, the rest of the Information Week Daily article mentions Unix
     to Windows NT *integration*, dropping the word "migration".  Migration
     is mentioned only in the below quoted first paragraph.

Wow! As Superman would say, "Great Scott!"

Someone got their information ***REALLY*** mixed up. I was just at a talk that
Dick Watts gave last week where he discussed some of HP's HP-UX strategy. The
HP-UX strategy is actually for industry leading ***INTEROPERABILITY*** between
HP-UX and NT. This is actually very similar to the MPE/iX strategy of improving
interoperability with UNIX and with NT - this is a requirement to be a good
citizen in a hetrogeneous environment.

I suspect, as Hamlet said, that "something [may be] rotten in Denmark." I've
heard that a particular UNIX-only competitor is spreading the rumor that HP is
giving up on the UNIX business and that all HP-UX customers should switch over
to them ASAP. In addition to being really sleazy, it is totally untrue. It
might be an accident that something like the above article was printed in
error, or perhaps not.

Well, as long as I'm in a quoting mood, let's hope that John Lennon is right
and "instant karma's gonna get [them]."
