Mula - Re: "My guess will be cpq will hold on and push the alpha design for a few more years to prove to their stock holders that they made a good decision in paying all that money for the DEC purchase (alpha rights)."

This is probably correct.

Compaq may also "convince" Samsung/API to buy the Alpha architecture for some nominal amount, and exit gracefully.

It will be intriguing at the end of 2001 to see if Compaq - by then supporting TWO 64 bit architectures (ITanium and Alpha) - ignores a third 64 bit architecture - AMD's SludgeHumper.
