Was Unix popular at that time?
- nix23 4y agoWell maybe not as much as VMS but it started to gain traction.
- simne 4y agoThat was golden time for developers. Their public status was like movie stars. And for West it was normal price, because even considering wide usage of also cheap CP/M, on some level of organization size, was unavoidable to switch to Unixes or to mainframe - CP/M just was too limited, was not capable to handle big business load. When BSD first appear, Unix machines also where too small and slow for big business, but very soon appear client-server architecture, and later clouds (Beowulf, I think, oldest wide used private cloud soft), Unixes become unlimited.
