Paul, Re: think you have it backwards. It is SUN that won't be actively supporting IA64's - beyond ITanium. Of course, this 10000000% OPPPOSITE to SUN's phony OPEN SOLARIS charade announced a few weeks ago. I realize that Sun and Intel are probably doing whatever they want and trying to make it look like the other one is doing something dreadful, but: Sun denied that it has reduced support for the Itanium chips. Anil Gadre, vice president and general manager of Solaris Software at Sun, said Ottelini's comments come as a stinging surprise and beg the question of what will happen to customers who have agreed to run Solaris on IA/64. `A hell of a valentine' ``This is a hell of a valentine to get today,' said Gadre. ``This is not in the interest of the market.' BTW, I started to respond before your edit. My son and other young Linux, open-source advocates, are not at all happy with Sun's pretensions of being a part of the open source movement. He gets agitated just talking about it. Usually, he's pretty laid back. Ah, youth! Really, really going to sleep on it. I am in Atlanta...not California. dmf
