Re: You also said "Win64 will probably never see the light of day on IA64". Absolutely untrue. Win64 has been available to IA-64 OEMs for quite some time now, and it will ship when the hardware does. Eric, I didn't mean that literally, because I know Win64 will be available. I just think no one will be dumb enough to use it. For one, with Microsoft's history, you can assume it will be full of bugs and crash a lot. This is a no-no for servers. Second, there will be solid UNIX OSes available. A friendly bet, by this time next year, I bet less than 25% of IA64 systems ship with Windows. chic
