The big question of course is the magnitude of Intel's commitment to it's unix
product.  We've learned by experience that going with a big name doesn't 
guarantee quality or longevity - we started yearsa ago with IBM Xenix 1.? and
eventually had to move on to SCO because of the bugs in IBM's product. Despite
having a big name behind it IBM Xeniox never was much of a success.

What about Intel Unix?  Is it on the market?  How much does it cost?  Where
can an interested individual find out more about it?

If SCO doesn't soon recognize and respond to it's responsibility to support
those people that have been supporting them for years then RSI and its future
customers will be computing on another vendor's Unix.
