"more than half of what Project Monterey features that should have been there are not. Monterey is D-E-A-D! Only some parts of Monterey will be folded to the next version of AIX OS."-- Hetz Ben-Hamo, 2000-08-20

Ransom Love, Caldera Systems' CEO, said IBM's announcement that Monterey was completed "could not have been an official statement. We have partnership agreements with IBM and it would not be appropriate for IBM to declare the project done." That stated, Love agreed that many of Monterey's goals had been completed. He also said that the Linuxication of Monterey AIX 5L was a good thing for both AIX and Linux users.-- Ransom Love, 2000-08-20

An IBM spokesperson said today that "not all the code of Project Monterey will be included in the first release of AIX 5L,"-- IBM PR, 2000-08-20
