Chuckles - Re: " While Microsoft Corp. is committing to support existing NT-on-Alpha customers, the Redmond software giant isn't going to support new NT development on any architecture other than Intel, starting in September. > Does anyone see anything here?

But read the article - current efforts at Microsoft are to support INTEL ARCHITECTURE Servers & Workstations. Intel. Not AMD. Of course, you can hope and pray all you want. Paul
