advanced interactive executive or execution,
i really don't care about it, even with hp-ux, i don't know what is ux maybe unix executive too or the other way...
That is right (actually: executive). For the record, AIX was first developed not for the POWER-series but as an IPLable sub-OS for VM. VM is (was) a OS designed for IBM mainframes and a descendant of OS/370. In VM one usually started several virtual machines (running VM/CP themselves) and on top of their own VM/CP a so-called "sub-OS" was booted (IPLed). This could be CMS (conversational monitoring system), a single-user, single-tasking OS, GCS, a multi-user system usually serving as basis for CICS partitions or, finally, AIX.
In fact this "Unix" was so Unix-like the majority of the Unix-people would not even have recognized it as that. ;-)) I remember seeing it once about 15 years ago on an aged IBM/4381 machine. To say it was a nightmare is boldly understating it.
