nihil, re: "Intel is urging people to drop mainframes and other servers to go to a new system, it is wise to give the potential customers a chance to plan ahead."

Good point, I agree.

Your post raises an important question. Could at least some of the softness in server sales reported by IBM and HP be from IT folks waiting ("planing ahead") for Itanium? Not Y2K? The softness is in the high end hardware, exactly the target market for Itanium. Maybe?

nihil - Re: ". If you wait until a product is shipping, there will be very few customers to ship it to. Look at the Athlon excess inventory. Good way to lose a buck. "

You're criticizing an AMD procedure that they have perfected after years and years of practice.
