Recently Sun announced that their proprietary window manager was being
ported to other platforms, such as HP. (only the fact that UniPress was
doing the port lent me hope, I have SEEN their software :-)

If HP doesn't finish UIMX before this happens, or NewWave, or any of the
other neat X tools, then you all at HP should just give up.  Sun will
carry the day if the OSF members keep dragging their feet.

You can't sell workstations if you don't have software!

Yes, I really feel strongly about this one :-|
