"Speaking of which, I got a tour of a Unisys datacentre earlier this week. The datacentre manager started gushing about how cool & advanced the new Clearpath systems were (they're partitionable 32-way Xeon boxes running MCP and/or windows). I really, really wanted to ask him "A development history stretching back to the UNIVAC and this is the best that your system architects and engineers can do?".

sigh.  another example of the triumph of market forces over technical
excellence.
