I don't think they can completely cut out Tru64 without offering another
Unix solution for the Alpha chip. They've already announced the EV7 and
EV79 cuts of the Alpha for 2003 and 2004 (I think, or was it 2005?).
Hell, HPaq's even announced they'll support my beloved OpenVMS until at
least
That's interesting.
At the 2001 IOUG, I seem to remember someone from Compaq touting how the
TRU64 platform was chosen by Oracle for the initial development of RAC,
and was supposedly the premiere platform for RAC - including getting
away from raw file systems.

sort of merge of TRU64 and
HP-UX. Now, IF we get
the best of both OS's we'll probably have a real good end product.

They said the same here (Halifax, eastern Canada) re. Tru64 during an Oracle
Technology Day about two months ago.
No mention of LINUX or HP-UX, though, this was a joint thing between Oracle
and Compaq.
The Compaq cluster servers were really impressive, each one about the size
of a laptop.
