-> "On June 9th there was an earthquake in the Unix workstation world.
-> Its epicenter was in Houston." So said Compaq's full-page newspaper
-> ad in promotion of the company's new line of Windows NT-based
-> workstations.
->
-> As it turns out, Compaq may have been just a bit overeager in
-> proclaiming performance superiority over its Unix workstation
-> rivals. For the announcement, Compaq released some performance
-> numbers that compared its new systems with a slew of Unix
-> workstations, including Sun's Ultra 2. Compaq's workstations came
-> out on top. But something smelled fishy. The real story, of course,
-> was in the fine print.
->
-> Go to Eye on the Competition to learn about these new workstations
-> and find out why they "outperformed" their Unix competitors. There's
-> also a story on the workstation market's 30 percent growth in
-> just the first quarter this year.
