Actually, I can see SGI becoming much more profitable by tightening its
focus into being very lean and mean, ditching most of its core hardware/OS
business, and specializing on being the Very Best manufacturer of extreme
high-end graphics cards. They've clearly got the personnel and experience
and if they started aggressively courting the sort of government and
research folks who can spend top-dollar on hardware but who prefer the
cost-free Open Source OSen, I think they can carve out a handsome little
niche.
