Elmer, Re: "The trend is absolutely that Intel architecture/Windows NT will be the dominant
player over time"

I wonder where Scumbria is with his NT is only good for email, Office 98 and file server applications, stuff like that? Actually the author does say it's still Unix for the more heavy duty stuff.

Unix workstations still have a heavy presence in the workstation
market, particularly in the higher-end models, where Intel/NT
workstations can't keep up, ffoulkes said. In data-intensive
tasks such as simulating airplanes or designing microchips,
customers will spend the extra money for a Unix system,
ffoulkes said. "High-end Unix systems can do things that Intel
architecture/Windows NT can't do yet, or certainly not in the
same degree, he said."

Unix will be around and make money for Sun Micro and a few others for a long time.
