Tony - Re: "If Chrysler feels NT stations are powerful, stable, secure and RAS enough, vis a vis UNIX servers, I think we'll see a lot of other serious users going the same way." There are more subtle benefits. With the pending merger between Daimler and Chrysler, Jerry Sanders will be buying new Mercedes Limousines in a few years that were completely designed on Intel Xeon Workstations ! I'm sure he'll enjoy every mile he is chauffeured (at Shareholders expense) in that new Limo ! Paul

Tony and Intel Investors - Re: Chrysler Adoption of Xeon Workstations & Windows NT. My guess is that we will very soon see an announcement by Silicon Graphics (SGI) for their launch of Intel Xeon Workstations. SGI has had a major relationship with Chrysler - especially with the Dassault CATIA CAD software - and I'll bet they will continue as the prime hardware manufacturer and supplier, but with Intel Xeon based Workstations instead of their older, proprietary MIPS-based workstations.

Tony, >>>what I've been stumping/thumping about for a while now:.......If Chrysler feels NT stations are powerful, stable, secure and RAS enough, vis a vis UNIX servers, I think we'll see a lot of other serious users going the same way. <<< That's why I hang around this thread - basically to read what you, Paul, and the other techies have to say about all the technical stuff. Don't be afraid to get technical or afraid that you're repeating yourself. Sometimes I have to read it several times before I get it. 75% of what Paul Engel writes about goes over my head - but I give it a try anyway. (I even try to read the stuff Ali Chen writes about - when he gets technical - not when he goes nuts). Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us. Mary
