Everything Microsoft considers "high end" gets ported to the Alpha CPU because the chip runs rings around comparable x86 processors, like double in most cases. So NT, IIS, MTS, C++, VB, VIDE, RRAS, Proxy Server, etcetcetcetc all exist on the Alpha and get simultaneous release on both platforms. Unfortunately, MS doesn't consider VFP "high end", but that's another story..... Anyway, I have succesfully put VFP databases on Alpha servers and used ODBC on x86 PCs to read the data.

I was thinking that that a VFP database could rest on the Alpha, and IE4 users on x86 PCs (with the latest ODBC drivers installed) could query the data.
