Re: Compaq and [HP] aren't the only ones supporting Itanium. It was nearly the entire industry, including IBM... Didn't IBM just drop AIX support for Itanium? Clearly having decided that it wasn't a suitable platform for a real enterprise solution. Amazing what you don't learn until the actual hardware is in house to test. Looks like they found out that getting decent performance from that weird heavily, heavily, optimization and compiler dependent architecture just isn't worth the trouble. The hard part is the software - Intel makes fussy, barely compliant hardware that makes life miserable for OS and application developers. AMD makes hardware that runs what the developers write - AMD doesn't make us throw out 15 years worth of developed software because it's just too hard for poor little Intel to develop performance compatible hardware. New boxes just keep getting cheaper and cheaper, but the cost replacing the installed base of software keeps getting more and more expensive.
