bhagavathi, Do you see a trend here in the OSs on which these Itanium applications are being demonstrated? Surprisingly MSFT is
busy fighting the DOJ. While the world is busy introducing the new products for the future of computing platform (IA-64).
Interesting questions will be, how much lead will this give to the small players in software industry? How will MSFT catch up?
Can MSFT have the same grip over this industry?
On the hardware side what will happen to PA riscs, RS6000s, ultra sparcs? What will be the future of main frame
computing? What will be the future of fault tolerant computing (currently being very minimal to non existent, e.g. crashing of
the web servers at ebay,etrade,etc).
I bet there will be drastic changes to the computing environment based on the new player IA-64. Which will impact the
software development and computing changes alike.


Why don't you give us your idea of possible answers to these questions? There has been some conjecture on all of them. Go back, review, and tell us what you think.
