Thing is..

I don't know if IBM care if AIX survives but Sun is desperate to re-invent Solaris to look and handle and "feel good" like Linux.
AIX has fewer apps ported but it has very steady market share. Solaris has lost more(proportionate) market share to Linux.
Linux has eaten a lot of Sun's market, many of my company's customers are ex Sun who don't want to pay for overpriced hardware there are some ex AIX customers but the ratio is about 8 to 1

I suppose Solaris has more apps and more platforms but AIX is strangely resilient. SPARC and POWER are way better than sucky Intel but not really value for money.
