I was wondering for years why MS continued to support DEC Alpha CPUs with NT.
- rasz 2y agoDidnt it end brilliantly for MS? Settlement involved MS supporting Alpha while DEC trained its enormous sales/engineering arm to sell and support NT thus killing any incentives to buy DEC hw in the first place. DEC moved upstream the value chain and Microsoft moved tons of NT to all existing DEC corporate customers.
- jdougan 2y agoOh yes. MS took full advantage of the situation. MS was always better at strategic planning than DEC.
