Like a good wine, an operating system needs time to mature. Unix has had almost 30 years of
development put into it by some of the best research institutes in the world.
It was designed to be flexible , reliable , and efficient. It was not developed to make a quick buck.
It is portable to a wide range of computer hardware and is supported by all major hardware manufacturers. Try running MS Windows on a Cray supercomputer.
Unix standards have been ratified by major software vendors to enhance compatibility between software developers, you can choose your software and hardware vendor independently and change either with minimum cost and disruption to your business operation.
