rudedog - Re: "I would expect to see some messages from CPQ over the next year which gradually submerge the Alpha message into a 64 bit message, then gradually submerge that into a broad IA64 support message. CPQ must move very carefully to preserve all of the assets they acquired with DEC, including the Alpha installed base. But they know where their bread is buttered."

I couldn't have said it better. Thank you.

I do think Compaq will support existing Alpha customers and through those relationships, have an easy entry into the high end enterprise segment, manking a "Merced sale" much easier when Merced machines surface, in a couple of years.
