Hi Folks,
This is probably off topic from this list, but I need some info on Alphas
running NT.
Can Alpha-NT systems run the MS Office suite? Will this have to be an
FX!32 converted program set? Will a document generated by these
programs (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) be readable by a Pentium running NT?
Will the documents exchange both ways?
I need to setup a big NT server to run the above mentioned Office Suite
as well as some X-based services (server, client).
I'm sure that I will lose some of the Alpha's amazing performance if I
were to run these converted applications, so maybe I should just go buy
some Pentium based systems. Then again, these are not exactly number
crunching applications, so the slow down may not be noticed. I just
hope that they don't some weird system contention problems when 10 users
are running the Office apps.
thanks in advance for any info.
eyc
