“SGI is continuing its attempt to move into the volume market by
coming out with a new family of servers running both Microsoft
Windows NT and the Linux open source operating system.”
“The move follows the firm’s first entry into the Windows NT
market at the start of this year (see VNU Newswire, 12 January,
1999) and its commitment to Linux at the start of this month (see
VNU Newswire, 20 July, 1999) to add new revenue streams to its core
business.”
“The company’s traditional Mips boxes, unlike its new Intel
based machines, are aimed at the graphics market and run its own
Unix variant, Irix.”
