Larry, I'll bite. Tell us about HP-UX :)
My observations.. Up til 9.x it was a BSD-alike. In 10 and especially
11 it became much more SysV-alike. VUE desktop was nice for the time,
CDE took on its visual style. 11.x becomes bloated like later Solaris
releases. Technology transfer is hard.
There are some nice internals docs:

11i: ISBN 0130328618 hp-ux 11i internals book (the above doc is a lot
more in depth)
I wonder if we should collect resources like this on a wiki page or
something? I really like this inside the factory stuff.
