SCUMbria - re: "BTW: The closing discussion panel turned into a major Merced bashing event, and the Intel representative made almost no attempt to defend Islowium." Well...with Sun, and Alpha/Compaq and AMD in attendance, what did you expect - a Merced lovefest ? I commend you for starting VERY EARLY to dismiss the ITanium/Merced. I'm sure you were trumpeting the superiority of your AMD 486s over the worthless Pentium when Intel introduced it in 1993 ! Paul

Scumbria, <The closing discussion panel turned into a major Merced bashing event> Yeah, no kidding. I especially wanted to throw a rotten tomato at Martin Hopkins, the bitter old IBM guy who started the Merced bash-fest. (Just joking.) <and the Intel representative made almost no attempt to defend Islowium.> Part of the problem is that Intel employees can't really reveal too much, good or bad. Fred Pollack, Intel guy, didn't have a fighting chance when he had both hands tied behind his back in the name of non-disclosure. Tenchusatsu
