Well, we know it was ported in some form a few years ago, from news
that leaked out of HP.
 
Maybe they're waiting for IMAGE/UX to be ported to PA-RISC IMAGE/NT before
announcing anything?   :)
 
I suspect that it's another of those @#$% marketing decisions.  I wouldn't
be surprised to find out that the projected margin on PA-RISC NT boxes
might be smaller than PA-RISC HP-UX boxes, and that each NT box sale
would replace a would-be UX box sale.
