Subject: Off topic but probably of interest

compaq is readying a 1.6 ghz alpha processor and ibm is readying a 1.2 ghz
powerpc-these are obviously more powerful specs than a 800mhz merced which will
only be out next july.can anyone tell why microsoft is not about to port 64 bit
windows to either of these 2 processors.Surely old enmity and animosity should
not prevent microsoft from porting thie Os to the best available hardware?
afterall doesn't it makes more business sense to do?

I apologise for this off topic post but i feel perhaps it has some relevance to
us chess computer addicts as it would impact on the speed of hardware available
for the mainstream chess programmes
