You've got it backwards. Alpha will run both Merced and Alpha software but the reverse is not currently the case. Intel could change that but probably will not given their strong NIH factor. Merced's delay combined with CPQ's marketing clout gives Alpha a shot at becoming the base 64 bit standard but CPQ will have to move quickly with major software producers to make that happen.
