>>Does anyone heard about the possibility to run (in the near future)
Windows NT on HP3000 or HP9000 boxes ?<<
 
<<I asked my sales rep(first time I'd seen him in about 2 years) about NT
on PA-Risc machines.  He said that HP had it running but didn't know what
to do with it.  After all, he said, it is not a multi-user system.>>
 
I think this is a key issue. A lot of people are asking the "can"
question about HP boxes and NT, but there is a distinct shortage of
people asking "why". NT is NT, no matter what it runs on. Is there any
blindingly-obvious advantage to running NT on the 7x00 series PA RISC
chips as compared to x86, MIPS, Alpha, or PowerPC? A lot of people forget
that the cpu is the *last* issue to consider in selecting a computer
solution.
