- DC>In the current issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal, there is an ad from
- DC>Silicon Graphics advertising a new desktop system of theirs. It is
- DC>MIPS R4000 based. They are using Windows/NT as its primary operating
- DC>system. The ad implies that it is available NOW.
-
- DC>What's interesting is that they claim that it will run all Intel-based
- DC>apps with "just a simple recompile". I wonder who they expect to
- DC>re-compile published apps like Lotus 1-2-3?
-
- DC>Anyway, it's going to ship with NT and Microsoft C 7.0 on it.
-
- DC>Now MS has BETTER ship NT on time or they're going to have one very
- DC>very upset OEM vendor!

- Jeeze I hope Windoze/NotThere crashes and burns. I'd hate to lose the
- workplace
- shell and go back to that idiot windows interface. Since it's Microsoft, it's
- probably going to be buggy as hell and crash all the time anyway. Besides, at
- the next release of OS/2, the kernel will be the UNIX MACH 3.0 kernel.
- Probably
- the RS6000 will be running that right away, and the SPARK, PA, & MIPS chips
- wont
- be far behind.
