Re: "Once again we hear of Intel giving away Itanium's. A sceptic might suggest that this is because they are not selling. "

Typical AMDroid response.

Intel and HP and Red Hat, etc., are SEEDING the educational institutions with ITaniums.

This has been a standard practice since the early IBM days of shipping their first transistorized computers.

Undergrads and grad students then have the opportunity to hone their programming skills on a new piece of hardware - providing a pool of TRAINED IA 64 PROGRAMMERS when they graduate.

Maybe one day we'll see a Hamster POS fobbed off on a college !!
