We can all get some insight by peeling through this puppy... isn't it wonderful how Linley "Merced" Gwennap is so plugged in.. after all , he broke Itanium and here he is with the architects: linleygroup.com But back to his little forthcoming gem: More than 20 major system vendors and six operating-system vendors are committed to delivering IA-64 products when Itanium (code-named Merced) begins shipping next year. Next year? But every roadmap says Itanium 2H00, this is interesting. Maybe this is why the thread is quiet on this "great news?" "All IA-64 processors will execute x86 instructions in hardware" Another interesting revelation.. McKinley wasn't supposed to offer this... someone must have gotten an idea. "Only Sun seems committed to a pure RISC strategy. As a result, IA-64 systems running Windows 2000, Linux, and Monterey Unix will be the dominant server and workstation platforms" Looks like Linley is confirming Sun's committment to UltraSparc. Makes sense, they sure can make a lot more money selling high-end UltraSparc servers versus commodity boxes. Rob
