The current product lines available as new include the SGI® Origin® 3900 and SGI® Origin® 350 servers, and the Silicon Graphics Fuel® and Silicon Graphics® Tezro® workstations. These systems will continue shipping through December 2006.

SGI Commitment
The MIPS IRIX products continue to be a viable solution for many customers, with millions of dollars invested over the years. Product availability and fulfillment will continue as usual until the EOP date. All customer purchase orders for new MIPS/IRIX products will need to be received no later than December 29, 2006, with order fulfilled no later than March 2007. After this date, these products will be available as new systems through special arrangement only.

So the obvious question is when can we expect a full Linux lineup?

I get the feeling that the SHI Autodesk relationship is very shakey now. After SGIs CH13 and Audodesk moving things to Linux on non SGI systems.

Even if SGI has a Linux system(which they have?) that works for Discreet, I think Discreet is moving on.
