This must show something about the mentality of corporate
data centers. 

DEC is now trying to sell VAX's to those folks. The first VAX, and
the first version or two of VMS were very nice. Later ones keep
getting worse and worse - harder to use, slower (the software is slower),
and MUCH less cost effective relative to the rest of the marketplace.
We used to like DEC around here, but now their salesperson gets
laughed out of the room!

You are implying that corporate data centers will buy Killer Micros
just as they are replaced for everybody else by something better!
