#MAX Systems
Martin,
2 products, really. The WinDD (windows Distributed Desktop) SGI Client
(list price varies from $295 for 1, $1950 for 10 clients, etc.) + the WinDD PC
Server (requires 486 or above) which is a base package of $3495, which includes
Windows NT Server 3.5 and 10 floating licenses. Additional licenses follow a
similar price scheme to the SGI client).
This allows you to access PC applications at supposed "native" speed without
emulation. Access Windows, Windows NT, DOS and OS/2 applications (which run on
the server) and are displayed as a complete PC desktop in a window of your SGI.
How would you use it? Why, it's only limited by your imagination! <BG>. Heck,
*I* don"t know. I suppose it could be useful, but I don't know what real-world
constraints there really would be for a cost-effective or convenient usage.
