S.W. Alphas have a reputation for being THE "best" chips on the market, BUT There's always a but. Only NT will run on Alphas. But that's only the first but. The big BUT is that most of the available ordinary apps for Windows will not run on Alphas. I don't personally have info on what will, but the chances are excellent that your favorite application will not. Anybody know about the status of (say) MS Office products, for instance? I don't know, but the chances are good that unless the product has a big high-end market it won't run on an alpha. Sadly. Now, if you want to run Unix stuff, your chances are much better. All of this is second hand from me. Anybody got any better info? Best regards, Spots
