>I believe that 99 out of a 100 will be with a 600 mhz alpha. Quite an act of faith. Also, the better-performing Alpha systems are not the ones that cost '1/10th of anything comparable from SGI'. But let's not start a thread about that here. Take a thread to comp.sys.*.advocacy and enjoy basking in the flame wars. Surprisingly round numbers, too ;). As I said, you have the right stuff for a marketroid, but I'm surprised a system engineer would utter such round-numbered comments. So, the fact that Alpha systems don't command a 99% market share (not even in the NT space, where the only competition is from IA32 chips, -- hardly the most formidable opponents, and where everyone is burdened by the same OS) is probably due to the fact the world is populated by idiots, I guess. The fact that Linux machines are not 99% Alpha would mean that most Linux users are stupid, too?
