No, I mean REAL DECWindows! ;) On Alpha you can select either DECWindows (I think it's called that, may be DW-MOTIF or something) or CDE. When faced with the option on DEC systems, the original DECWindows is... more authentic :) CDE was somewhat of a late addition as far as I know, I think HP or Compaq grafted it in, probably HP as it's used on HP-UX. I don't think CDE is available on 7.3 VAX...

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.

Hello!
As it happens I actually got it working on Solaris. (X86) My SPARC box
that I have here runs without a head, but the VNC screen does good
graphics.....
Anyway I passed along your good news Sampsa to my LUG, everyone seemed
rather pleased.
Oh and Mark? Right now there are four odd looking characters watching
you. They are also studying Sampsa.
