- Will lmf kill alpha?
- no.
- Somebody else answered dec had good products an bad products
- yep.
- - unfortunately lmf belonged to the latter.
- I disagree.
-
- My understanding is that VMS and ultrix is not widely used in
- universities and other research institutions compared to other
- unix derivations because of the administrative overhead caused
- by correctly using lmf.
- Since I have seen much overhead if one is being honest then means (a)
- most universities and research institution are run by crooks too
- dishonest to even join the CSLG, or (b) the real problem was a price/perfomance
- gap several years back.
-
- Will this happen to alpha as well?
- I doubt it and would be fascinated to see evidence that it will.
