microsoft.com says NO FUTURE MS ON ALPHA (Score 1)

I offer the following quote from the Microsoft website:
*********************************
No Future Releases of Microsoft Products on 32-bit or 64-bit Alpha Platform
There will be no future releases of Microsoft products for the 32-bit or 64-bit Alpha platform. This means there will not be
32-bit Alpha versions of Windows 2000, beginning with Release Candidate 2, nor will there be new 32-bit Alpha releases of
SQL Server, Exchange, or other 32-bit Alpha BackOffice products. There will also be no 64-bit version of Windows or
BackOffice developed for the Alpha platform.
