bhagavathi, Do you see a trend here in the OSs on which these Itanium applications are being demonstrated? Surprisingly MSFT is busy fighting the DOJ. While the world is busy introducing the new products for the future of computing platform (IA-64). Interesting questions will be, how much lead will this give to the small players in software industry? How will MSFT catch up? Can MSFT have the same grip over this industry? On the hardware side what will happen to PA riscs, RS6000s, ultra sparcs? What will be the future of main frame computing? What will be the future of fault tolerant computing (currently being very minimal to non existent, e.g. crashing of the web servers at ebay,etrade,etc). I bet there will be drastic changes to the computing environment based on the new player IA-64. Which will impact the software development and computing changes alike. Why don't you give us your idea of possible answers to these questions? There has been some conjecture on all of them. Go back, review, and tell us what you think. Tony

Bhagavathi - Re: "Do you see a trend here in the OSs on which these Itanium applications are being demonstrated? " One trend seems to be the simultaneous support of three Operating Systems for IA 64 - Linux 64/Trillium, Monterey, and MS's Windows 64. That should produce applications ready to run on whichever of the tree main OS's emerges the quickest as the best - most scaleable, stable and "feature-laden". Re: "On the hardware side what will happen to PA riscs, RS6000s, ultra sparcs? " PA-RISC - HP seems to be improving their PA-RISC chips - courtesy of Intel's Wafer Fabrication capability. RS6000 - Essentially a captive CPU for IBM only, and shrinking in importance for IBM. UltraSparc III - Over 18 months late and GETTING LATER - and most likely non-competitive. My hope is that SUN will develop a skunk-works Server project with Intel CPUS - Xeons, Merceds, WIllamettes, etc. My fear is that SUN will instead adopt AMD's AthWIPER or SludgeHummer - for no other reason than to snub Intel.

While the world is busy introducing the new products for the future of computing platform (IA-64). --- Software development doesn't stop in Redmond because the executives and lawyers are fighting the lawsuit. 64-bit Windows has been running on Itanium since August. See microsoft.com for the press release. - Eric
