Marcelo,
you said, "Firefly was saying that we'd still have unix in the top end. I personally see that as deeply wrong. If I can have unix on a 40+K$ box, but I cannot buy a 5K$ box for the grad student."
Yes, I did mention all the high-end models but, forgot to mention the O2 which is in the $5k-$7K range. I realize we don't have any products in the $1.5K range running Unix however.
you said, "So, it was truly scary to me, that someone like Firefly, who works for SGI apparently, did not get this point, and insists
I will still get unix on 80K$+ boxen."
Well, I wasn't insisting and I guess I didn't know what your point was until after you replied to me with your reasoning. I simply saw your post which indicated that SGI would lose you as a customer if we only supported NT on the pc. I guess I didn't understand how expanding our product line into the NT space as well as continuing to support our other Unix offerings would make you feel that way.
you said, "What some, myself included, see as deeply wrong, is dropping UNIX."
SGI is not dropping Unix. |
