dmf - Re: "I assume the above comments will NOT be part of the marketing blitz? "

Good assumption !!!

Re: "What happens if customers understand all too well what you are saying and want to wait until others test and prove all this NEW stuff? "

This should be no problem whatsoever - remember, ITanium is starting from GROUND ZERO - so production volumes will necessarily be small in the beginning - and a small initial user base will be adequate. Remember - this is NOT going to be a HIGH VOLUME market - even in the future.

Re: "Don't get me wrong. I do believe. I'm just uncertain about the time frame for implementation and acceptance."

Don't forget - 386's were once BRAND NEW, 486's were once brand new, Pentium's, etc. - and they all had to run Microsoft software.

Except for the FDIV problem, I'm sure the "reliability" of Microsoft's OS's masked any problems of the Intel CPUs !

By the way - guess who was the first passenger to fly in a commercial Jet airplane?
