Paul, "afraid of new technologies?" No... Back to the subject at hand. As Rudedog recently pointed out, he suspects Compaq shipped in the neighborhood of 35,000 (in the 30s anyhow) Linux boxes last year.. number one Linux shipper at 25% of the market so maybe 130,000 Linux servers shipped last year (and untold boxes running Linux that really are PCs masquerading as servers, etc.) So maybe Itanium gets off to a roaring start and ships 10000 servers next year... You know I am being annoying about this but gee whiz we hear Itanium/Merced stuff for months and years. Quietly, we notice little or no Win64 talk mostly all Linux/Itanium talk. Intel wisely about 18 months ago (search cnet www.news.com) starts a Linux push probably knowing FULL well they would have a bride without a bridegrooom if they waited for Win64. Itanium... all dressed up and no place to go . . . Rob
