Congratulations????
More like, way to sell out. The Alpha platform is much older and is actually more powerful than the Itanic. There is nothing to be happy about here, it is just the end of the line for the DEC tradition of excellence that began with the PDP-10.
Welcome to the end of DEC excellence. The sooner HP dies the better. HP has done nothing innovative for computing in the last decade. Instead of spending money porting OpenVMS to Itanic, they should be out getting Apple to run on Alpha and get EV8 out the door. Then go back to Microsoft and re-open DEC West. HP kow-towing to Intel, instead of commercializing a superior architecture.
