Jim, XEON was delayed twice for design bugs. IMO neither the DEC or the INTEL designs for highly complex new processors will be bug free in the currently planned time frames. Compilers needed to take full advantage of the new processors will lag introduction of the HW. IBM has been using techniques similar to those discussed for years and, I hope, has patented key inventions. This expertise, coupled with IBM's chip world class chip manufacturing capability should drive future earnings. Wouldn't it be nice if INTEL & Microsoft had to license key processor and compiler technology from Big Blue? Scott
