<< It is always better to be with Microsoft than be fighting it.>> I'm not so sure about that. The story about wanting to ride on the tiger's back comes to mind.

OK, Microsoft is not about to start making workstations and servers (more profit in software). But, I am concerned that the Cellular Irix tech, when integrated with NT, will not be exclusive to SGI machines. Hence Compaq, Sequent, Unisys etc could end up getting this tech indirectly through Microsoft. Plus this sort of deal causes bad rumors to spread about the future of IRIX. I do not believe for one minute that SGI will drop IRIX, but some people may get this impression, thus discouraging them from buying IRIX products now, or developing software for it. Ed
