most of my friends, including myself as well, do not have favorable opinion about AIX. however, given ibm's record track, there is really chance aix will become more popular. it's aggressively going forward on a few fronts. on db, it's db2 is going against oracle, on java, it's java tools (visual age) and app server (websphere) are competiting with other vendors. ibm is like microsoft. it might be a bit slow to react, but you can't never underestimate it.
otoh, the reason for sun's poor performance recently is mostly due to dot bomb and competition from high-end pc. i don't think it's because of aix. having said that, i won't mind getting a certification on aix and db2. never hurt to have certs, only if i have time... |
