        They are dropping the PowerPC and MIPS ports.  IBM and Apple never
did the unified hardware thing, and RS6k boxes still sell with AIX on
them.  The number of companies selling MIPS hardware has dropped, and no
one in their right mind would try to load NT on a semi-new SGI.  Not too
hard to understand.  NT on the Alpha with FX!32 is not a bad alternative
to Intel though...  they need to start marketing some MP desktops.
