DELL & UNIX: Cool! Looks like Dell is trying to get into the more serious workstation market. Did Dell get tired of waiting for a stable NT (5.0? 5.1? 5.9?). The margins in the unix workstation space are probably higher too. I wonder what reasons they had for IBM/SCO instead of Solaris or Linux, though. Isn't IBM more of a direct competitor than Sun or RedHat? ibm.com "IBM today announced a major UNIX operating system initiative with a number of industry partners. ... The result will be a single UNIX operating system product line that runs on IA-32, IA-64 and IBM microprocessors, in computers that range from entry-level to large enterprise servers. ... A number of computer systems manufacturers announced their plans to use the new UNIX software. They include Acer, CETIA (a subsidiary of Thomson-CSF), Dell, Groupe Bull, ICL, Motorola Computer Group, and Unisys Computer Systems. ..." Hopefully it'll run on the Inspiron7000. :-)
