Rich,
Re:Does not the DEC Alpha released in Nov run NT4S and NT4W? (This is not a W95 machine!)
Where did you get the idea that NT4(server) and NT4(Workstation) are 64-bit? They are 32-bit. Even NT5.0 in its initial release will not be 64-bit(if I remember correctly).
Re: Was the PowerPC fully Windows compliant? Do you have the right war?
MACs can do windows emulation pretty fast. Also, if Windows is the only reason why INTC is successful, how come AMD and Cyrix, which runs Windows pretty well, is not exactly rolling in Billions of dollars in profit?

The war is between MSFT and AAPL, not IBM vs INTC, I am refering the power pc and intel based pc. That is why AMD is killing Intel at the low end, and Alpha will kill Merced
at the high end, as long as all can run Microsoft's window and NT OS. The hard ware really
did not matter to me as long as they perform similarly, but the operating system
