You should embrace the actual code designation. Calling it KCI is just misleading for those who rarely travel through that airport. The fact that there is a KCI is worse than just making a different name entirely.
As far as I remember KCI has always had free Internet wifi. Combined with the fact that we have Google Fiber, it feels like the rest of America is some third world country.
I think you mean MCI. KCI is the airport in Kon, Indonesia.
Most of the car manufacturers have been dumping Silicon Graphics hardware over the last year in favor of Linux and other cheaper solutions. The cost factor comes in to play on many levels. For one, there's the up front hardware cost. Second, support and maintenance of the system (either through in house employees drawing nice salaries, a really expensive maintenance contract, or a combination of both). Third, the software cost, which is either in house or a customized canned application written by a consulting company.
Linux on Intel hardware can save a company lots of money simply because it's commodity hardware and doesn't require people in lab coats to operate.
Now, go over to eBay and buy one of the many SGI Octane systems because SGI workstations are now affordable to us Linux users (thanks IBM!).:)
What exactly do you want SGI to do with IRIX? Put it in a box, shrinkwrap it, and make it run your overclocked AMD chip-of-the-week? Probably won't happen.
Since IRIX 6.5, SGI has continued its promise to release quarterly updates. Each release introduces changes to the feature and maintenance stream.
I guess I'm confused as to what your hopes for IRIX are.
I haven't read the OSNEWS.com article yet, but I hope it isn't one of those "OS review" articles where they look at the installer and give it a rating.

Exactly, a review of inst alone would not paint a good picture for IRIX.

Wouldn't know I was upgrading, would you?
My favorite is when you're resolving conflicts, they keep getting renumbered as you resolve each conflict. Argh!
