They've dropped Alpha, as well.  Seems that Win2k doesn't work well on a 64bit
platform, and it's easier to drop the line.  I personally think it's still part
of the whole Intel conspiracy.

Strange that NT was developed on MIPS, yet it was dropped early on.  They claim
that they dropped PPC for Endian conversion reasons, yet I learned how to write
an NBO filesystem that worked on either type of platform when I was in school.
