I should say ultra high end, this is super computer type things where Unix is typically used. Linux is making leaps and bounds. One OS across multiple platforms will lower development costs. Microsoft did this with the WinXP line.

Linux has caught on in lesser computers that handle tasks such as dishing up Web pages or storing files. But a new study this month from investment bank Goldman Sachs said that Linux, benefiting from a foundation of less-expensive Intel hardware, is headed toward the Unix realm where customers are demanding, computing tasks are intense and prices are high.
