Rick Belluzzo (hoogste pief bij SGI) spreekt in een interview met C|Net News.com over de nieuwe op Linux gerichte strategie van Silicon Graphics (dat bdw voor het eerst sinds 2 jaar weer winst heeft gemaakt):
SGI plans to introduce its new Intel-based servers in early August running both Linux and Microsoft Windows NT operating systems, the company has previously said. But according to Merrill Lynch analyst Steve Milunovich: "SGI will lead with Linux but offer Windows NT as an add-on.""We think Linux is important," Belluzzo said. "We think it's the operating system of the Internet. The opportunity is to make Linux more powerful, which we intend to do."
However, SGI's Linux plans took a hit recently, with TurboLinux hiring away Dave McAllister, an eight-year SGI employee who helped chart SGI's Linux plans.
