Tru64 is officially dead.

HP-UX last major release was 2007 and production of the HW (Itanium) has 
stopped meaning that it is close to dead.

Solaris is hanging in a thread. Oracle has laid off a lot of engineering 
and rumors continue to go around that it will be killed off.

AIX is the only one that seems in good shape support wise.
