SFD, the article was referring to SGI. Of course they are going to do all they can to sell as much unix as they can. They have proprietary everything with no manufacturing efficiency. They need to differentiate themselves or die, which is precisely why they will die. They never sold much in the NT realm anyway. On a related note, Cisco is wheeling in a bunch of NT web servers. Cisco is supposed to be a unix-only shop (a pretty big one, too). Why are they doing that - because a bunch of application software is NT only. The little software houses just don't have the resources for 10 unix ports.
