IBM won't cancel the license for quite a while. Actually a new version AIX 7
is to be released soon.
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/v71/preview.html
IBM sells AIX to big companies that want "security through obscurity". How
many people have access to AIX as well as a Power server to run it on, let
alone the newest stuff? And who has knowledge of the whereabouts of companies
who uses that combination?
True, Linux is the future. And that is where the trouble is going to be from.
SELinux and App Armor can only go so far. Eventually there will be something
released. I'm not knocking linux at all. I'm a *huge* fan of it. But I am
also realistic and have seen some of the problems.
