I love it when somebody quotes me!  Somebody is listening.

I had this discussion with one of our customers yesterday.  It really 
does/should boil down to the OS experience you have on hand.  Does the AIX 
platform have more capacity/performance than the best Windows platform?  I'm 
guessing it probably does.  But at what cost? And then more importantly: do 
either of the platforms have enough for you?  If both do, then pick the one 
that makes more sense based on your OS experience.  And remember: one can 
always divide and conquer.
