Dear Windows NT Developer,


Thank you for your interest in Digital's Windows NT Program!

Microsoft's Windows NT has already captured the interest and imagination of software developers throughout the world.  Because of Windows NT's potential to become the preferred operating system for a variety of markets we know that you are excited about the opportunity to develop, port and deliver Windows NT applications as soon as possible.  This Compact Disk provides developers of all types with tools and information to make development easier, and we hope you will find it valuable.

Windows NT is a fundamental component of  Digital's strategy for computing in the 1990s and beyond.

It is my privilege to manage Digital's marketing programs to attract and aid independent software developers who are targeting applications for Alpha AXP with Windows NT.   Happily, this is a rapidly growing number of firms.  A small portion of the content of the CD ... specifically the information on programs for these ISV's and business partners ... is relevant only to these firms.  The great majority of this CD, however, will be valuable to all types of developers.  Needless to say, we all win when the range and quality of applications for the Alpha AXP platform grows ... whether we are ISV's, end-user developers, power consumers or systems integrators!

 On the CD you will find:

       o	Demos and technical information about development tools from Digital's Partners	
       o	Helpful information and  tips to facilitate porting to Windows NT
       o	Demos and technical information about Digital's compilers, interoperability, 
            and development tools for Windows NT	
       o	Testimonials from Developers who have already developed or ported
            Windows NT Software 
       o	Full descriptions of Digital's Developer Program for Windows NT, 
            including information for ISV's on how to enroll in the Program 
       o	A description of the services Digital delivers for Windows NT, such as developer
           and end user training, installation, outsourcing, system maintenance, 
           help-desk support, etc.
       o  DECpc Configuration information for both our Intel-based and 
          Alpha AXP-based PC's

 We hope you find this Developer's CD a useful tool in developing for or porting
 to Windows NT!


Sincerely,

Edmund H. Muth
