I think there will be no doubt that 3D Studio MAX will run on Apha processor under Windows NT. Microsoft has such a high commitment with Digital Equipment for Windows NT that it would it be a blunder of either software manufacturer to bring out a application who will run under NT only on Intel platform. Compatibity with DEC (and Microstation, Aspen, Carrera, …) would be a big gain for Autodesk vs the traditional Workstation market segment. Expect also price drop of these systems as Intel will bring out (multiprocessor) P6 systems at affordable prices. Thiis will be only the beginning of a muc broad accepantance between animatorqs accustomed to high end markets. Emmanuel De Smet / Creative Computing P.S. Let's no more talk about Windows 95. Windows NT si the only operating system to talk about. It's fully 32 bit and very stable ( version 3.5)
