  A survey in the UK disagrees. It highlights the fact that a central
  management interface for the maintence and configuration of AIX makes
  AIX more cost effective to run than Windows NT server, and several
  other ``popular'' operating systems. I believe I posted the article on
  - -chat, if you want to look in the archive.

I know AIX SMIT by word-of-mouth only, and that it is uniformly
negative.  Just a (very fuzzy) datapoint.
