I talked to our SGI rep about this yesterday and he told me they are not
really targeting "hard-core" university research where Linux/UNIX
already has a strong foot hold. Instead this is for the Business sector
where simplified workflows and having easy HPC integration into an
already 100% Windows Infrastructure is more appealing.
This was his take and it seemed reasonable to me.
