The default desktop environment on DECWindows is CDE. At least on my Alphas and Itaniums..

Fi on you, you should be using DECWindows, not CDE...

On the bright side, though, it does at least mean that various people might start rolling out improvements for it on the various platforms it lives on, especially AIX (which is the only current platform it's left on I think??)

Hello!
Correct. I remember seeing it running that way back when HP had
demonstration space at their offices here, also before when it was
Compaq.

When was VMS ported to Alpha? I recall being at the Alpha launch party
at the (then) DEC offices here in the city, and saw a box running
Windows NT (Alpha) and the man lamented that if too many windows were
open the system would slow down.

I also recall seeing a MIPS based DEC workstation at the UNIX expos
and the DEC chap described the coming NT system for it.

Never did anything with that family, but well I kept up to date.
