Joan & All, SGI may run Windows NT? The blurb reproduced below appeared in today's (8-6-97) San Jose Mercury News. Joan, I have seen nothing else on this. Do you have any further info? Best regards, Arno _________________________________________________ SGI machines may be Windows-NT compatible Silicon Graphics, Inc., where maintaining an independent microprocessor and operating system once was considered "a religious imperative," is considering a conversion. Gary Lauer, president of world trade for the Mountain View workstation company, said at the Siggraph computer graphics convention in Los Angeles on Tuesday that SGI is investigating making machines that can run Microsoft's Windows NT operating system - rather than just SGI's proprietary Unix-based system. "We're more open now to a lot of technologies that just a year ago would have been out of the question," he said. The growing popularity of NT is forcing a number of workstation manufacturers to incorporate the Microsoft technology in their systems.
