From the following article: zdnet.com First, a Digital insider who survived the Compaq takeover but, alas, won't be trekking to Vegas dropped Le Chat a line to point out some of the differences between his former employer and his new one. Compaq, the tipster reports, is big on code names--much more so than the Digitalerati were. For example, Catamaran is the nom de code for the first NT-only Alpha box being developed by Compaq. Until the new box ships next June, the Pfeifferettes will continue to sell Digital-designed Alpha systems under a Compaq label. Products aren't the only things that get cool names down Houston way: Normandy is the moniker for the megaproject under which management is trying to figure out how the heck Compaq can reach its previously stated goal of $50 billion in revenues by 2001.
