History
UXP/DS was a reference platform for the Common Desktop Environment (pictured here running on Linux).

In 1991, Fujitsu announced the DS/90 7000 series of workstations and servers, powered by SPARC processors, and running the UXP/DS operating system.[1]

In 1998, Fujitsu's new GP7000 series (GRANPOWER 7000) was divided into three parts. Series "S" represented their previous systems running UXP/DS. Series "D" represented their new systems also running UXP/DS. Series "F" represented their new systems running Solaris operating system. GP7000F running Solaris became the basis for later lines of Fujitsu Unix servers.[2]

In 1999, UXP/DS on the DS/90 7000 series was one of the reference platforms for the Common Desktop Environment (CDE).

In 2000, when Fujitsu released its new PRIMEPOWER line of Unix servers, only Solaris was available as an option for the operating system.[3]

gollark: Using nice filenames for my meme library was such a great decision, since I can find and upload a particular meme in just a few second now.
gollark: Fair, fair.
gollark: Yes, and that's often "regular people's" stuff being invested in bulk.
gollark: I don't think you can blame rich people for this.
