[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on windows

[Colin Anderson]

It ran good because Exchange 5.5 was ported to Alpha natively. Anything else
that had to thunk to the emulation layer blew dead goats, as emulation tends
to do. Alpha was great, don't get me wrong, but industry politics (Intel
posturing, DEC aquisition by Compaq) dictated that Microsoft had to half-ass
the job.

Personally, I was hoping that the CHRP platform would take hold. Funny how
things come in a circle what with Apple abandoning PowerPC and OSX loading
on Dells.

I disagree - I ran exchange 5.5 on a digital alpha using windows nt.  At
the time it was the most reliable NT system I had ever seen and it ran
faster than any i386 system.  Personally I wish MS would have continued
development on it.

Not to mention NT on Alpha and CHRP was a joke, the GUI was not native
code
and proper drivers were non existient. At the time MS was hedging their
bets
because it looked like CHRP / Alpha might be going somewhere. I had for
a
while a Motorola CHRP machine with Daytona on it and it was utter crap
but
it was a "let's throw it up there and see what sticks" situation. I also
got
to eval a "flippy" board with a P-90 AND a 603, reboot and it would ask
you
which proc you wanted to use. Was it Orange Micro that had that?? wow 10
years ago seems like a lifetime.

Moving the mouse??????  lol.

Actually I remember this problem on NT4.. the mouse driver used to drag 
the system down completely.. it was a complete resource hog.
