Interesting that it's named 'AIX,' which is also the name of IBM's Unix-like OS. I guess it says something about IBM's AIX's prospects in the market when no-one associated with this project even thought about it.

AIX is still around, but IBM is very much pushing Linux, even on the same platform/hardware, so even IBM sort of sees it as dated or offering very little that Linux doesn't offer. Probably more cost effective as I imagine they charge similar for support but have to put less effort into the code.
