Good - so when all the paltry "UNIX" distributions finally succumb to the mighty Windows there won't be any debate over what name to put on the tombstone.  Windows has market share, which is far more important than any standard.  If you think a recognized standard or some other piece of paper is going to keep you in business then you had better go talk to SCO.  In the mean time, I'd keep selling solutions to people's problems.  =P

After all these years, it still cracks me up that NetBackup calls Unix

So what's your point?  :-)

Unix is a multi-vendor standard recognized by both ISO and IEEE.  Windows is not a standard from any standards body that I'm aware of.  Even its trademark is disputed in legal circles.
