Seriously though, seems to me the high end 3d workstation market that SGI filled years ago is no longer so necessary. A cheap pc can do the same, only better, now.

I see on their home page they are marketing for things like celular simulations and HIV molecules. Okay that's really cool stuff but seems pretty niche to me. Either way I hope SGI sticks around. Good luck SGI.

The possibilities are infinate, the sad part is, they've hell bent on this 'niche with Linux' stratergy; it didn't work the first time and I doubt it'll work the second time around.

They've done too much for the workstation market. Unfortunately, they extended themselves too far.

If they were to merge with Apple, they'd have a better chance because Apple's financial group is the strongest of all computer companies.

They'd both gain in the sharing of UNIX technologies and Apple would benefit from high performance computing and SGI would benefit in ease of use.

Apple has been searching markets where SGI has already been and their combination would end up with a product line from inexpensive desktop to supercomputer. Thu, 21 Sep 2006 18:28:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (bousozoku) Comments
