The computer analysis on chess.com gives the following position as "A Decisive Advantage for White".  What am I missing? To me it looks like only a draw.   It that is so, why does the computer view it differently?

Yes, it's a draw.  The computer sees that White has an extra connected passed pawn, of course.  It can't calculate all the way until the 50 move rule results in a draw.

Thank you.  That makes sense to me. I would have thought it would recognize that if neither King can move forward  that neither side can queen.  Shows what little I know.

All of the major chess engines (Stockfish, Houdini, Komodo, Critter, etc.) evaluate this position, instantly, as completely equal.  (+0.00)  This is yet another example why one should use your own engine and GUI for analysis.
