Whats interesting about that article is that in November 05 they had not lost any of that Tandem hardware at all. They only had ousted the Unisys computers. The Tandems (not aging but extremely reliable but unbelievably unaffordable) didnt leave until mid 07. I never thought they would really trust the market to m$, but i guess they have considering there has been a couple outages since i left. When i was there the uptime was 99.99%.
A few years ago the NASDAQ was run on Tandem, and Unisys servers for the quoting and sales, there were alot of ms servers in some of the networking items. Now theres no more Unisys, and almost no more Tandems. What were they replaced with? When i was there talk was that it was going to be linux boxes, so a new deptartment of Open Systems came into play. So yes it has changed in just a couple of years.

the only sure way to remove the crap is reformat, get rid of windows and install Ubuntu. problem solved. No more crap....
