I guess that was HP's idea.  Itanic, *shudder*

I still like the Alpha. (Of course, I liked MIPS before that.)
 
We've still got some OpenVMS on Alpha am *my* $DayJob, but they're starting to
shop for non-VMSish POSIX platforms.   I don't think they're going to let me
take home the big Alphas for Linux when they're done, though ;-)
