McMannis - Re: "What do you see as the biggest problem with Merced...?" Software. Merced will need a rock-solid Operating system - or 2 or 3 - and these take a long time to test, debug, re-test, release and make in-system evaluation and correction. Next, applications software is critical to provide a necessary "reason" for customers to specify, purchase, install and support a Merced/ITanium system. These are on-going now, and have been on-going in hardware since FIRST SILICON last fall - and for over a year prior to that using Intel's IA64 software simulators. By the way - in light of this, when the SLudgeHumper is released in 1 1/2 years, it will probably be 3 years behind Merced/IA 64 in overall 64-bit PRODUCT development. Paul
