( Continuing the discussion from Time for a new Laptop.) Escaping from the Wintel Universe - being a Cloud User (AD, IIS and Registry philosophy) which boils down to the fact that you are dead as normal user not being charge of your piece of hardware instead your soule has been teleported out to th…

I think you are "all over the map"... In your referenced post you asked about laptops. Now you are asking about high performance UNIX servers? Ref: [image] Time for a new Laptop. Moving from Windows OS to Unix What is on Your Mind? I am losing trust in using Microsoft …

I tried to thread this mes. to my initial mes. but got a message I was not able to link ( now I understand it actually was the link to another BBS ... Quora or HPE ) Yes I am interested in hardware in general. And at the moment we are in discussion to make a switch from Wintel based computin to an…

Normally enterprise computing decisions are based on human resources, budget, mission and other non-technical factors. Smart organizations with a large staff of Windows human resources cannot just switch to a totally different architecture like unix. Thats really a nonsense idea. Humans do not …

HP-UX has some areas where it was not modernized and where it feels "archaic". It runs on expensive hardware. The desktop is still the solid-but-spartanic CDE. Solaris, another Unix that in the past ran on expensive Sparc workstations, is widely modernized. Solaris x86 runs on some standard PCs. …

That's certainly true - the workstation market itself hasn't disappeared. Apple would certainly qualify here, and HP and Dell also have systems that they explicitly market as workstations, running both Windows and Linux. But there aren't any companies any longer marketing their offerings as UNIX w…

[image] drysdalk: For example, back in the '90s, if someone said "UNIX workstation" Well, back in the 90's the world was much different. Now, "workstation" means people doing professional work beyond personal computing for example: Creating and editing video content for YouTube and other v…
