wbmw, thread, pretty positive article about Wintel servers from Information Week. The Unisys machine mentioned is a PIII big cache Xeon based and the IBM is Foster Xeon. Intel said in their CC that servers were picking up, Microsoft said they were not. I did see Microsoft president Rick Belluzzo interviewed on a business show last night and he wasn't so negative re outlook of everything. Microsoft's CC, can't believe it's going to be as bad as they think. Consumer confidence, for one, is picking up well. Analysts say new versions of Windows and the newer Intel-based servers pose a stronger threat to Unix machines when it comes to running large enterprise applications. "Yes, Windows scales to 32 processors," says Aberdeen Group analyst Tom Manter. "There's a big improvement in reliability and scalability and the new Intel-based machines are outperforming anything." He says IBM will deliver a 16-processor Wintel server this summer, but Unisys will be the only vendor with a 32-processor server. informationweek.com Tony
