Begging your pardon, but: | --- With the help of Veritas Software Corp., SGI will work to add | key features of its Irix operating system to the Linux platform. | Currently, Irix runs on the MIPS platform. Once SGI switches | entirely to Intel Corp.'s IA/64 platform, that will be the end of | Irix. | | SGI is also forming an alliance with NEC Corp. to increase its | market share in Japan. These paragraphs are contradictory. It implies an end to MIPS. Nintendo 64 uses MIPS. It also seems a bit overzealous.
