Justin, I'm not talking about them doing it tomorrow.. let's be realistic here (I'm trying to be). I honestly believe that SGI is going to slowly phase out UNIX as NT (5.0) becomes more powerful. Microsoft has already announced that they will be adding clustering. It may well take 5 - 8 years to completely phase out Unix, but the first blow has been dealt. SGI is also going to be using Intel processors in their new machines.. I think SGI is starting to dislike the r&d costs of maintaining their own os and hardware (although they may keep a modified MIPS for general consumer purposes). Steve
