***Kinetix Drops DEC Alpha Support
by Rob Glidden
Also at the show, Kinetix quietly announced that the long awaited DEC
Alpha version of Max was put on hold. Reason, according to Kinetix:
insufficient volume of Alpha NTs.
The Kinetix move reflects the consolidation of Pentiums as the major
graphics NT platform. Both NetPower and Deskstation, the leading NT
players for MIPS and Alpha, respectively, have bowed to the Pentium NT
wave and launched Pentium-based products.
