"This is yet another episode in the continuing saga of the fall from grace of proprietary technologies, the commoditization of processing power, and the difference between the must-haves and the nice-to-haves in budget-constrained times. It's also a signal that the high-end technical computing space is no longer a sanctuary for vendors of premium-priced boutique systems."
