I'd tend to agree. What's up with this? Face it, folks, SGI is dead in the water. Apple is poising itself to take SGI's place. I'm more than a bit incredulous that SideFx actually feels there are more Solaris users out there than Mac users. I personally worked at a digital facility that loved Macs, all of the artists/admins/techs owned Macs, and though we all liked SGIs in their time, we felt they were overpriced and underpowered as the years rolled on. We gradually switched to Windows boxes- not out of any love of the OS, or it's terrible stability problems, but because of performance vs. price. Likewise, we began a shift towards Linux as time went on. We never, however, abandoned our interest in the Apple OS X platform, and as it's matured, and apps like Maya and Renderman have migrated to it, we've all been increasingly hoping that Houdini might consider a change of policy. What about it, SESI?
