Tivoli should consider that Mac OS X is a Unix system, and as such could be
folded into the Unix clients family, rather than being considered a separate
animal as it has been heretofore. OS X is Unix with a gorgeous interface. (I
just installed it this week, and as a Unix guy of two decades, can attest to
it being exceptional. It makes Windows look sick.) Given the likelihood of OS
X proliferating to platforms beyond the PowerPC, there is certainly a business
case for Tivoli to treat this incarnation of the Mac operating system more
seriously.
