I can tell you that they have been working on a 64-bit Windows since 1994. Digital was working with Microsoft to get them to upgrade Windows NT to a full 64-bits. At that time, Windows NT on the Alpha was 32-bits.
More or less buying 64 bit companies and engineers since 1994.
If you want to see some interesting stuff in a desktop, take a look OS/2. The desktop has had some features, since 1992, that have yet to appear elsewhere. Very powerful in many ways.
Yes, Good ole' OS/2. I still have the disk sets from years ago and a computer to boot with it. I do like OS/2 and how it did things. Memories..............
There's a petition to make OS/2 open source going on. http://www.os2world.com/petition/ Theo -- Theo v.
