Actually, the article Evan referenced contradicts this:

        "Compaq was very clear that Alpha would
        be used for Linux, Tru64 Unix, and Open
        VMS," said the source, who requested
        anonymity.
        ...
        The dilemma now facing Microsoft
        officials is what to do with the hundreds of
        Alpha systems now beta testing 64-bit
        versions of Windows 2000.

"For your convenience," the URL originally quoted was

        < http://cnn.com/TECH/computing/9908/24/nt.dump.idg/index.html >

I did not see an announcement from Compaq to contradict this.
To what were you referring, Gavin?
