Re: "If the Alpha 'platform infrastructure' is so darned good, why do they plan to ship 750MHz Alpha's with AMD K7 'platform infrastructure' (incl. modified AMD chipsets, power supplies, m/b form factors..)?

Maybe because the current infrastructure is too expensive and too slow? It's called progress. The fact that the new Alpha will ship on a K7 platform infrastructure helps validate that infrastructure, IMHO.
