Hewlett-Packard is rolling out Update 5 for the HP-UX Unix operating system that runs its Itanium and PA-RISC lines of Integrity and HP 9000 servers, keeping to its pattern of two updates per year for its flagship operating system. As has been the case with the prior HP-UX updates, the changes are important to existing HP-UX shops, but they're probably not going to cause a stampede of buyers for HP-UX systems. It's no different with the updates to IBM's AIX or Sun Microsystems' Solaris Unixes do.
Yes, that's right, particularly in the HP-UX area. HP coasts on stuff that took place a long time ago.
HP-UX: still has a System V "make", fer cryin out loud. It still uses a pretty stock BSD FFS file system. They have a C89 compiler, but it's not very good.
They're coasting, counting on corporate customers to just keep buying the same old same old.
HP-UX requires FFS only for the boot files, for access by OpenBoot PROM. They have an OEM agreement with Veritas (or at least did, four years ago).
