The San Jose Mercury News (the major newspaper of Silicon Valley) has
a story in its Business Monday section today called "In the land
of Unix, the faithful strive for unity," by Janet Rae-Dupree.  It's
primarily a report on SCO's Unix forum.

The best part:

"But how long will Unix survive?  Microsoft Corp. is touting its
3-year old Windows NT operating system as easier to use, just as 
powerful and a cheaper solution to the thorny technical problems that
Unix once solved exclusively.

'Cheaper' is probably the biggest thing going for NT.  Unlike Unix,
which demands expensive, high-end work stations to work, Windows NT can 
accomplish technical feats on run-of-the-mill destop personal
computers."

It would seem that Janet has an opportunity for a follow-up story 
here.
