Tru64

Tru64 is HP's (formerly Compaq; formerly DEC) name for Digital UNIX, which is the 64-bit UNIX for the Alpha AXP platform.

Here is a list of the product names (an example of the marketing shell game):

OSF/1 version 3.x
Digital UNIX version 4.x
Tru64 version 5.x

It is unique among common commercial UNIX OS's in that it is built on the Mach kernel often associated with NeXT, and now Mac OS X. It is sometimes criticized for POSIX compatibility holes.
