If they start with what IBM has in AIX now, or is currently adding to it,
they'll have NFS, Distributed Services (IBM's file sharing system), and
many extensions picked up from BSD Unix.  In terms of features, next
year's AIX probably won't differ all that much from System V.4.

Performance?  Compatibility?  We'll have to wait and see, won't we?
On both sides; we don't know how Sun will integrate Berkeley features
into the one true UNIX.
