At this year's IOUW, Oracle stated (a number of times) that they are NOT committed to porting to NT on the Alpha at this point without seeing first that Alpha will be a popular choice for running NT.

Some of us were rather taken aback by the statements, especially as DEC (in the Exhibit Hall) was telling everyone that they are working on it...
