This confuses me... slashdot carried this story in the last 48 hours (at
least I think it was them; I can't find the link now), but I thought it
was very clear that CompaQ was dropping only the 32-Bit Windows dvelopment
from Alpha, and KEEPING 64-Bit. The CNN story definitely leads you to
believe that ALL NT support is being dropped.
As much as I applaud forcing Microsoft to evolve by threatening them with
rival operating systems, I can't imagine Compaq could completely drop NT
support from the Alpha and not lost major revenue. Anyone closer to this
know the story?
