AT&T owning 7.5% of the shares of Sun is a big threat,
but AT&T and Sun co-operating on the actual product wasn't?
C'mon, when you have a joint project that important, you *expect*
some such stock arrangement.  If IBM's market analysts couldn't see
that coming the day the UNIX merge was announced, they weren't
doing their job.

It has been said that the final thing will be a three-way AT&T/Sun/Xenix
merge.  Anyone know what's happening on the Xenix side?
