Everything about Project Monterey
1990s Unix coalition
Project Monterey was an attempt to build a single Unix operating system that ran across a variety of 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, as well as supporting multi-processing. It would allow applications to run across a wide selection of machines, at a time when compatibility between platforms was limited and this was seen as a major barrier to the more widespread adoption of Unix-based platforms. Although it would run on most processors of the era, the main focus of the project was to create an enterprise-class UNIX for the upcoming IA-64, which at the time was expected to eventually dominate the server market. The rise of Linux and the failure of the IA-64 program led to its supporters abandoning the project. Wikipedia →
