Neither runs on commodity x86 hardware.  AIX runs on IBM systems with
Power CPUs, and HP-UX (currently) runs on their Integrity line with
Itanium CPUs.  The OS comes with the corresponding hardware;  it's not
sold separately.  But both are very much still available and are the
primary OSes for their respective hardware platforms.
