Actually, the Amiga community was quite proud of the fact that
Microsoft's BASIC was available for the platform. Remember,
Windows was only a dim dream at that point.

This must be January 2023... At least that's what my Windows NT says... No
wonder nobody is around. We're all dead (I think).

You didn't get your manditory Windows 2000 upgrade notice either?

It won't run on my Alpha's :^) they've got a *proper* (and supported)
upgrade path which looks like this:
MS Windows NT V4.0 SP6 ------->+ OpenVMS V7.2 (obviously the preferable)
+ Tru64 V5.0
+ Linux
sure the last one isn't FreeBSD or NetBSD 8-)
Besides Windows '98 runs fine on my PowerMac G4/450 and does everything I
need from Windows. Gotta have that Solitaire game :^)

second (though never really did anymore than boot either of these disks, as
the system runs OpenVMS).

Considering Compaq's been doing a developer test drive of Alpha's with
FreeBSD on the web...
It's just Linux at Compaq (like IBM) is now one of those supported OS's
they'll sell you... Unlike FreeBSD (for now).
At IBM they'll sell one of three Linux varients on their boxes (and
they use FreeBSD for the Interjets from Whistle).
