What a pity... it seemed like "what should DEC doing in the 90s, and how is it related to DEC's historical identity?" was the question when looking back at their 90's strategy – and it seemed like thoughtfully engineered hardware, even if on a commodity architecture, is one of them.
Even if it wasn't the full stack integration from semiconductor fabrication, to OS and networking, that they were used to.
