thanks, very interesting. My ex-husband looked at the Itanium and concluded it didn't hit the mark a year or so ago... but by that time the tombstone had already been written.

Based on what you are saying, it sounds like the Itanium suffered from what we all know as big-company large market share-itis, where they spent too long analyzing in the beginning- way too long from conceptualization to launch on this chip- in an effort to satisfy all parties and deliver some super product that was all things to all people. How can you possibly hit the mark on a 10 year design.... that never happens as planned. 10 year old things take off all the time, like Linux but they are never intended to be killer apps.
