Bob gives no substantial arguments and the column reads like a personal rant against something he doesn't understand. He's certainly entitled to his point of view, but the fact the he starts out by validating his fortune-teller abilities by other "predictions" that he wasn't alone in doing, shows that he knows he's on shaky ground. Linux quite possibly will not kill off Windows, but the OS is here to stay. I would love to hear Bob Metcalfes plan as to how exactly he would ever make a grassroots movement like Linux simply go away in the near future. Things like that just don't happen.
It really doesn't say if they are going to work on MIPS or the new Intel-boxes. Does anybody know if this is a sign that SGI officially will put Linux on MIPS? (I hope so)

I get the impression that you're involved in putting X on the RH5.2 Linux for MIPS on the Indy.
Do you have any idea when that'll be done or what's holding it up?
