    It is official; Netcraft confirms: Project Niagra is dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Project Niagra community when IDC confirmed that Project Niagra market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Project Niagra has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Project Niagra is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.

    You don't need to be a Genius to predict Project Niagra's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Project Niagra faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Project Niagra because Project Niagra is dying. Things are looking very bad for Project Niagra. As many of us are already aware, Project Niagra continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    All major surveys show that Project Niagra has steadily declined in market share. Project Niagra is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Project Niagra is to survive at all it will be among processor dilettante dabblers. Project Niagra continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Project Niagra is dead.

    Fact: Project Niagra is dying

    I get a net timeout error on his blog... Perhaps that's the TRUE test, put one of those fan-dangled 32-way core-thingys, and post on /. and see if it can hold it's own......??
