I think SGI has a real story and product to help the top line and that attendant trickle down to other lines show make investor happy. But it's execution.
#reply-18421168 Current Linux Journal editorial.

by Don Marti

There are two common points of view about Linux in the so-called
enterprise. The first is that Linux is only capable of displacing Microsoft
products on cheap low-end servers, and that proprietary UNIXes with
their huge 64-bit address spaces and big SMP scalability are safe. The
second is that Linux is mainly displacing UNIX, since it's easy to port
software from UNIX to Linux, and that Microsoft with its difficult-to-port-from
APIs is safe.

Both points of view are wrong. Nothing is safe. On page 44, Linux is
running on a new 64-processor NUMA system. And, on page 52, Linux is
displacing the nastiest Microsoft server to replace,
Exchange--undocumented protocols and all.
