- First SGI sold some kind of interconnect technology (?) to Sun which was some sort of competitive disaster - Also they sold some graphics capability to Nvidia for cheap. Without graphics, what is SGI anyway? Why did they do that? I notice Nvidia has done well with it. The first event is quite old. It is not interconnect technology, but an almost finished product. When SGI bought cray five years back, they let Sun have a cray product, for almost nothing. That product became Sun's Starfire server and took many sales away from SGI. The second is more recent. SGI did give graphics patents to Nvidia, in a deal that turned out to be a much better deal for Nvidia than for SGI. These are mistakes of the past. I don't think they are very relevant for the future of SGI.
