HP: following DEC's fate as Microsoft VAR? | |
|
||
| Time: 10:12 EST/15:12 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

A story that old DEC hands like to tell is about the time Digital was designing the MicroVAX. Ken Olsen went to the board and told them they could expect the share price to stagnate for a couple of years. Digital Equipment Corporation, Olsen said, would focus all its efforts on putting the VAX onto a chip (from a board) and things in the meantime would be grim. The MicroVAX turned out to be a roaring success, DEC's share price subsequently tripled, and Olsen was vindicated. | ||
