[I just got that in the "AlphaServer Update" > today]... sounds to me like DEC is into Alpha for the LONG-TERM... This should probably be moved to chat if it's going to continue. I don't think imediate announcements such as this have any bearing on what is going to happen in the next 18 months. It'll be business as usual for the staff on the ground at DEC until the Compaq guys decide what they intend doing with the DEC assetts. Compaq have shied away so far from a categorical thumbs up for the future of the Alpha chip. Paul Richards. Originative Solutions Ltd.
