Cybernetic Vermin posted:the bets weren't that clear-cut in the early 90s though, vms was at least big enough that it was clear *some* path would exist i remember reading about alpha in pc magazine when i was a kid. don't remember much but the whole article was like hoooooly poo poo its so fast!!!! MS was making very serious noises about the portability of NT. netware was still a thing. it was not at all clear that intel would dominate the server market 10 years later
