    Folks,

We are in the market for a Unix workstation with good price/performance. The
Digital Personal Workstation with the Alpha 21164 seems attractive.

My questions:

  - can these boxes run Digital Unix?
  - are there any plans for this to happen?

  - [not really germane to DU, but forgive me ;-) ] any prognostications about
    the future of applications available for Windows NT/Alpha?

Thanks for any advice/opinions/flames.

                                   --Harvey
