There's a trade off in supporting Microsoft NT if you've got less than a
high volume business in NT boxes. DEC seems to have enough in Alpha
to keep supporting it at the Desktop and Enterprize levels...
(or as some people feel -- they sold their soul to MS)
Not completely, at least until ComPuke takes over -- after all, with
their own Unix port to sell they allowed the use of company (facilities,
equipment, personnel) to aid the Alpha Linux port. After the ComPuke
takeover, I suspect that a lot of good people will be found to be
"redundant" if they're the least bit out of the new sync.

Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.
