It doesn't matter. Lots has changed with the Chevrolet Malibu, but the
brand has existed for decades.

Unix, as a brand, has existed for much longr than VMS. It has seen
makeovers of its looks, makeover of its engine and transmission, but it
remains Unix.

It retains the same basic set of commands liks "ls" and "cat" and in the
end, this is what defines unix.
