Using all that money to push PRISM/ALPHA and MICA into workstation and server and large server space would have yields them better results. That said, I'm not sure if DEC could have survived with that strategy either.
What it would have done is make it so that Windows NT ends up not existing or existing in a very, very, very different way, likely in a far worse way. Lets remember that Gates didn't even believe in Virtual Memory.
