    > HP-UX hits end-of-life today

    HP really looks like a company where ideas go to die (hello Google). They aquired Apollo, killed it. They aquired Compaq, killed Alpha, sent VMS in a nursing home where it is still on life support, killed PA-RISC and, finally, they are killing now HP-UX.

    Good that they got rid of Agilent, on time.

      HP is also ending support for its Itanium-based hardware, which seems like the main motivation here.
