- rbanffy 3y agoI remember they didn’t port a lot of stuff to it - it was running mostly the BackOffice family of server apps. I don’t think one could run Outlook on them.
- macjohnmcc 3y agoWhen I was at Microsoft during the time I had X86, Alpha, MIPS, PPC (for a short time) and Itanium. We only did the builds for Itanium once in a while because the developers and the testers shared the expensive hardware. I believe the only versions of the product (Systems Management Server) were for the X86, Alpha and MIPS.
