“Compaq announced its decision to withdraw NT support on
Alpha at the end of August, citing low customer interest and sales
volume.“
“Going forward, the company said it would focus all its Windows
NT efforts on its Intel Corp.-based ProLiant servers, while the
high-end Alpha server line would be reserved mainly for
OpenVMS.”
“Following that decision, Compaq announced a series of programs
to help existing NT-on-Alpha customers migrate to ProLiant servers
or Tru64 Unix, OpenVMS or Linux environments.”
