Joe, Re: "The first reason was that it only took two days to do the port. "Porting" is a process that developers typically go through to take an application that runs on one platform, and make it run on another. Some applications are more portable than others and, according to Tetpon, DB2 was designed from the bottom up with portability in mind. "That's why," says Tetpon, "it only took two days." If "we're doing it because we can" is reason enough, I have a list of processors that IBM should start porting DB2 to as well."

This is by far the most compelling point for Opteron. I am seriously astounded by this statement. The rest of the article was either fluff or optimistic speculation.
