This is one of the worst offenses Slashdot has committed. What evidence is there of an imminent crash? None. This goes beyond yellow journalism and borders on libel. At the very least it's FUD.
You may not like Microsoft, but Windows 2000 is a very capable operating system. The fastest databases in the world run on w2k. Sure, FreeBSD might be even faster at certain things, and being free is a big win, but this doesn't mean that w2k sucks. Heck, even Lycos is switching to it.
Slashdot has become the Weekly World News of tech sites. What a pot of crap.

Glad to see that someone else realizes the word "cluster" gets thrown around a lot. Check http://WWW.OPENVMS.DIGITAL.COM/availability/ to see what the big boys do, and have been doing since the early 80s.
"yeah, but can i run linux on it?" i don't get it. if you get a GS and run Linux on it, i'm not sure what condition you suffer from but i'm sure it's unpronounceable. the linux lunatic fringe really irritates me. there's a huge difference between VMS and UNIX, and yet another gap between UNIX and Linux. -m.
OSX Server, NT, Solaris, HP-UX. WebObjects was amazing software at $50,000. At $700 it's unreal especially considering that WebLogic, WebSphere, etc. are largely imitations. The only problem is that when you think "enterprise software" you don't think of "apple". if i were in apple's marketing department, i would play up the NeXT angle of WO. ---matt

Itanium will support SDRAM, at least at first.
