| www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB19990106S0008 EST) By David Richards, CRN SAN FRANCISCO -- The organizers of Macworld Expo, held here, have stopped workstation manufacturer Intergraph Computer Systems from displaying Intel-based systems at its booth. Intergraph, whose booth is located next to Apple's on the show floor, was set to demonstrate new Intel Xeon workstations running at 400-MHz and 450-MHz chips on Microsoft Windows NT-based multiprocessor workstations. Sources said this conflicted with Apple's focus on its next-generation family of Macintosh G3 desktop systems, which are designed to compete with NT machines. But an IDG insider who asked not to be named said Intergraph would be compensated for having to leave because IDG feared a lawsuit. The source also said IDG enforced a clause in the contract that gave IDG the right to remove from Macworld anyone it deemed wasn't acting in the interest of the event. During his keynote Tuesday, Apple interim CEO Steve Jobs boasted about a powerful new 400-MHz G3 workstation, comparing it to an Intel-based workstation similar to what Intergraph was planning to demonstrate. An Intergraph employee, who asked not to be identified, was skeptical about Jobs' demo. When asked whether it was good business sense to market NT workstations to Mac users, Macworld's Crawford said, "It may be smart in their eyes, but I think it is plain dumb at a Mac function. |
