MS was comint out with NT 5, so Sun's 'droids decided to emphasize the greater maturity of their Unix with a bigger digit. Before launch, they renamed Solaris 2.7 to Solaris 7. Microsoft pulled a fast-one, and named their next OS after the 2000 Toyota Camry V-6. -- Phoebe-list mailing list [email protected] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/phoebe-list
