Required trust should be proportional to the required outlay. Trust not only involves the political actions of the company but the level of tech support you will get from them. It becomes difficult to trust a company with your business if they can't even sort out their own.
The cost of a 32-cpu machine involves quite a bit of trust.
This is likely independent of which OS is running on it. Unisys may find that people don't care. Unisys may simply find that they simply have never built up a necessary level of trust with consumers.
They seem to be approaching their 'sales' problem from the wrong angle.
You don't buy a 32-cpu machine to be a cheapskate.
