Mula, >If I were CPQ management, I would invest in porting Tru64 to Itanium. Why cut off the extra life line I might get for this OS? I have in other words I would give my Tru64 customers a choice of hardware they want to buy. Not being forced to a given hardware vendor.

But again by porting Tru64 to Itanium, CPQ might be shooting the Alpha project all together.


Maybe it's your sentence just above that sums it up. Or, Compaq may want to avoid what IBM's been accused of: too many offerings that just confuse the customer. Last but not least, saves money, which Compaq is out to do in their turnaround strategy. Some of all the above went into the decision, I'm sure
