I saw this in comp.sys.intel and I'm not sure why, but it made me smile. Is it because Intel is going to be helping to push UNIX on x86? Or, because Intel and Microsoft are having a spat? ############# BEGIN FORWARDED MESSAGE ############ The Pentium 150 will be released in Jan. 96 Only. Technical problems with P6 CPUs as well.Intel is unable to produce the SMP version of the P6. No multi-processor P6 till Mid,96. (Orion chipset/Mb problems) And SunSofts SOLARIS to be the OS of choice for the Pentium Pro (P6) CPUs. Intel is working with SUN to optimize Solaris for P6 and will be pushing this. (Oracle too is said to be porting for this environment) (this is said to be in retaliation against MicroSoft for porting NT to Alpha/Power PC and for Not supporting NSP) (Sources: Various Trade Journals/publications) ############### END FORWARDED MESSAGE ############### ______________________________________________________________________ Rob Snow Powered by FreeBSD rsnow@txdirect.net http://www.freebsd.org
