Ultrix was lacking compared to SunOS. It only supported static binaries and needed more disk space as a result. Licensing was weird. Open source stuff didn't always "just work" and compile out of the box like it did on Suns. In the early 90's through the dot-com crash, everyone wanted Suns. Still, DEC did some awesome stuff... The Alpha was amazing. I worked at a mostly DEC shop for a while. They had a lot of VMS systems, but when it came to Unix, they went with Sun.
