The UNIX® Operating System
Continual development over the last thirty years
Deployed in millions of installations on nearly every hardware platform
A reputation of stability and scalability
Continued innovation as new technologies assimilated
The popular choice for the internet
Mature, Standardized and Start-of-the-Art

A key to the growth has been the free-market demands placed upon suppliers of open systems products - this has led to a best of breed competition where features are continually being added to compete and keep up.
