You can also add SGI and most proprietary Unix vendors at the time. To a certain extent I think Apple also had a hand in killing the workstation market. When you can get a Mac that did Unix things and also ran Office and Photoshop, why get a SGI workstation (of course not all things could run on the MacOS that people got SGI's for)



I agree, but to nitpick, there was a port (based on the Mac version) of Photoshop for Irix.


Yeah. I think it was version 3 and never was updated beyond that for Irix.


Not really the same for Apple. The mac running OSX is a Unix workstation. It is an updated NeXT.
