It isn't fully support by third party developers, the file system isn't
nearly as fast as what is available from Interactive, and their X port
isn't quite as fast as others - 

On the other hand, support is good and free (so I've been told) - and
upgrades are reasonably priced.

If I were starting again, I would go with Dell System V release 4.0
