What is a "workstation"?

With the decline of the desktop, and rise of the content consumption appliances, I would argue the desktops remaining will be the new 'workstations'. The low end of desktop land is likely to be eroded away leaving the more powerful Windows and Mac systems dominant. And like historic workstations, the hardware is likely to be *relatively* high end. The OS platforms will be mildly diluted and skinned server software. And they will be targeted at specialist content creation. Seems analogous to the workstation of old. -- Colin Cameron Kaiser <spectre at floodgap.com> wrote: I dunno. I'd claim the true workstation is dead. Probably the last was the HP C8000. -- _____________________________________________ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser at floodgap.com -- There's an old proverb that says just about whatever you want it to. -------
