Robert already got the answers. 3DS for NT on Intel platform will be the first
to arrive, but obviously, other platforms will arrive on demand. Although 3DS
NT doesn't have any schedule yet, Autodesk has announced that AutoCAD will be
available first for NT Intel, then NT Alpha. Most probably, 3DS will follow the
same way (always remember that portability is one of the strong points of NT).
When 3DS NT for Intel arrives, I am sure a date will be announced for the Alpha
version.
My message about the Celebris XL line was intended to suggest a smooth
transition path between the Intel and Alpha arenas (althought I am not sure if
there will be enough time between the Intel and Alpha versions to justify a
multiprocessor upgrade to get two Intels while waiting for the Alpha. In the
other side, the second Intel may be most cost effective than replacing the
first and getting only one Alpha).
