Unix was hated by PDP-10, VMS, MULTICS, DOS, Macintosh, Lisp machine, non-Unix workstation (Xerox, Lisa, PERQ, etc.), and mainframe (IBM, Burroughs, Tandem, etc.) users. Unix was the beginning of everything that's wrong with corporate tech culture and hiring ``hackers'' who don't care about quality. Unix not only infected industry, but wiped out interesting academic research like orthogonal persistence and tagged memory that were starting to become mainstream. Unix took over workstations for the same reason Android took over phones: it was backed by a big company and third-party apps were ``portable''. If you haven't read the Unix-haters' book, please do so.

Unix was a toy OS for the PDP-11, not a server OS. It was a uniprocessor OS for years. Linux was originally a toy OS for 386-compatibles, not a server OS. They were both ``desktop'' OSes, just not user-friendly ones. Buffer overflows and locking up aren't any better on a server.
