Harry - Re: "Itanium. Good news for Intel.
NEW INFORMATION ON COMPAQ WEBSITE COMPAQ DEMONSTRATES 64-BIT OPERATING SYSTEMS ON INTEL(R) ITANIUM(TM) PROCESSOR BASED SERVER. HOUSTON "

Boy - I'll say that is GOOD NEWS !

Thanks for the excellent post !

Compaq has a lot of "prestige" to lose if ITanum is a success and their Alpha continues to founder in the market place.

Thus, a statement such as "Compaq's success establishes it as the reference platform of choice for IA-64 based solutions " seems like a MAJOR ENDORSEMENT of ITanium...very possibly indicating that Compaq's testing has established the fact that ITanium systems will indeed be excellent performers in the high end Server and Workstation market segments.

Osha Joe - are taking notes ?
