DEC has vertical industry expertise and a strong services organization in terms of headcount if not profitability. Over the long term if Compaq isnt commited to Unix or Alpha I dont see them getting anything they wouldnt have gotten by being part of the Wintel food chain.

I wonder how Sequent reacts that their new OS of the future is going to be developed by a company that isnt committed to it. I also agree on a personal note that most of us of a "certain age" grew up in a DEC world and seeing a screwdriver shop like Compaq take them over is sad - is it too late to exorciate Ken Olsen or has the statute of limitations passed?
