I agree that it's not too controversial anymore to say "HP-UX is dead". I'm just wondering what the official platform support will be where Progress OpenEdge is concerned. I am very curious if Progress is going to continue to invest in HP-UX, or deprecate/discontinue the platform. Perhaps they haven't reached a final decision yet.
