Michael Davidson scripsit:
Regardless of its technical merits (and I suspect that
the
implementation may have been pretty bad) RFS was doomed by AT&T's
licensing policies and general ineptitude at marketing UNIX. Similarly
the widespread adoption of NFS was driven by the fact that Sun made
it a de facto standard.
A familiar tale: NeWS vs. X was exactly the same story, only with the players
reversed.
