Re: You don't think that Itanium will have a mode under which Windows 64 would be able to start 32bit app and use hardware 32bit portions of Itanium to run it?

It's supposed to have it now. So why is Microsoft writing an emulator? Writing an emulator isn't trivial (look at they way AMD had to let a third party develop and sell an emulator for the Hammers. Look at the success of Transmeta based almost entirely on emulator technology).

Why does Itanium need an emulator in the first place?
