I didn't mean to sound too harsh on the Alpha, personally I would kill for one. Im all in favour of competition especially against Intel/Microsoft but I reckon that they have lost out on a potential market increase by losing NT. Just my $0.02 worth.
Just because theres no Windoze support doesnt mean thateveryone will put Linux on it, Sales will undoubtadly be poor as a result of M$'s announcement. I wouldnt see it as a victory for linux just yet. Maybe the small few new users alpha can now expect to get will run Linux....
