HP has shown definite roadmaps for both 3000 hardware development and MPE/iX development out past the year 2000. Since HP is still making an estimated $500M (US) on the 3000 biz, and is beginning a new mass advertising campaign in the most visible computer trade magazines, I think the 3000's future is bright, and at least as certain as just about any other platform you want to name.
