Nah. It'll run just fine on the Alpha. What do you think the
main development platform is for the 64 bit version (powepc?).
The problem is they won't ship an Alpha version 'cause Compaq won't
pay to support MS's development.
That's why the PPC version died...
IBM and Motorola wouldn't support MS with $$$ so they let the
thing die. (A lot of OS/2 PPC version and WinNT PPC version
machines went AIX 4.1.3 and Linux at IBM around that time
'95 or 96.
I got some early boxes to upgrade my AIX desktops that way.
