Hello,
I get the MS beta CDs and there is a copy of RC1 of Win 2000 for the Alpha.
These include Professional, Server and Adv. Server. If they aren't
supporting it I can't figure why they are beta testing code for the Alpha.

It doesn't seem likely, since they don't HAVE and Merced systems yet.
Perhaps
it has been "administratively cancelled" but the Alpha boxes won't "fall
over"
until the Merced boxes arrive. Or perhaps until NT actually *runs* on them.
