SGI's demise had to do with more than that:
1. Attempting to do hardware, OS AND act one of the primary providers of software on its platform, rather than build developer community
(Sun does a much better job of building developer community)
2. Licensing its several graphics technologies to nVidia, which took no time to bridge their gap with SGI thereafter.
3. A major slowdown during the dot.com era following an exodus of key talent (SGI didnt benefit much from the dotcom as much as Sun did)
