I'm surprised at this since even HP don't own
Tru64 any more, haven't they
sold it to the Chinese government? Sure I read that somewhere in an
interview with one of the Alpha experts.
?!?! I think you had best check your facts on this one. I've heard nothing
to indicate that HP has sold Tru64, and with no knew Alpha chips they'd be
hard pressed to find a buyer.
instead of the
VMS program's $0 (or $30 if you want the disk). Sadly, Alpha
died at the end of October and the enthusiast
Tru64 program likely died with it.
Both a supplier and one of our salescritters yesterday told me Alpha had
been extended for another year but I've not had time to look into it
officially. New stock is still available, the rest is marked as Renew.
Interesting, I've not seen any word of this in the OpenVMS areas. What does
marking as "Renew" mean? Could your suppliers be confusing the fact that HP
has said support and parts will be available for a good long time?
