Dear Fellow Managers,

I have to produce a report for my boss regarding the issues or gotchas with the
Alpha to Itanium transition. I thought I would solicit your opinions before I
proceed. My questions are as follows.

How do we decide the appropriate or best time to begin the transition?

What issues should motivate such a change?

What potential pitfalls do you see, if any? This might be a pre-mature question
given that the merging of features of HP-UX and Tru64 UNIX have only just begun.

In your honest opinion, how long do I have with Tru64/Alpha again? They really
have served well.

Yours sincerely,
Robert Honore.
