John, fine,

Of course, that is
assuming WIN2K is the key OS for IA-64.

Unix in varying flavors comes first, then W2K, maybe Linux in between. But you are right about IBM holding the keys to both the hardware and software driving. OTOH, how much longer will S390 be that big? Sales are sideways to down for quite a while now, except for a brief time now and then when IBM has a new 390. 390 gets left in the 90's, I'll bet.

I bet some flavors of UNIX are the main OS for ITanium.

RE: "One thing that might make things tougher on Intel is that it doesn't control both 'halves' of the equation "

Hi John,

Good question. Generally speaking, it's harder to fix a bug which is dependent on two separate vendors, than one. And integration systems testing gets more challenging between two separate firms, than within one firm.

Regards,
Amy J
