Anybody I know from that era who had to work on both platforms know exactly what I'm talking about. The Alpha chip should have killed IBM, but they just didn't know how to market it. But we sure loved being the group using DEC while the others labored to get their IBM stuff to run.

Sales is king..
I suppose you could draw parallels with Apple/Microsoft. In both cases, the company that provided a platform for an entire new industry won.
