chipguy -

You are right. This story holds some eery parallels with
AMD's ambitions with AMD64. :-P

And just a few differences: DEC had the infrastructure of a minicomputer systems company - including processor, system, OS and application software developement, plus a worldwide 1 day response onsite customer support staff conceived for 1970s style business.

Just a little more overhead.
