CBS is no longer owned by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Four or five years ago new management at Westinghouse bought CBS. Westinghosue Electric Corporation was renamed CBS a couple years back and then CBS proceeded to sell off all the industrial companies that made up Westinghouse.
Well, some of us don't get to dictate all the hardware we use, so we have to work with what is "approved hardware." Usually, in my organization, this means the hardware is a bit on the older side so I never had driver problems.
Then I was given the newer IBM PC300PL that was mentioned in the article (uses the trio 3d). I am running in X as I type, using the fb device and Xserver. There are performance losses compared to the NT drivers but at least I do not have to use just NT at work.
The article did not say if they got theirs working or if they switched hardware. A quick trip to the newsgroups would have told them to use the fb until the trio 3d drivers are finished. Of course using fb may not have been worth the work of upgrading their systems (what is required to bring their Caldera release up to 2.2 readiness?).

Didn't some guy named Rob Malda used to have a site with some of his Windowmaker dock apps? I wonder what happened to that site.
Yes. Downloading 40 img files over a 2400 phone connection, then putting them on floppies, and then finally installing.
I wish I had kept those floppies to show the kids I work with.
Now all of you get off my lawn!
Siemens makes combustion turbines and they install their control systems on them. Not sure about their other markets.
Someday we will have DRM for nature, too...because we are idiots.
We are already headed that way.
