Well, this is nevertheless an interesting action, and perhaps the only right thing they can do, now being faced with MicroSnot everywhere... (and good-quality free Unix clones). I'm surprised that the offer even includes a development system, something where UNIX vendors always believed they had to divorce it from the main system, and could make big bucks out of it.
