Rob - Re: "Of course it is hard to be an Industry Standard
if you aren't shipping product."

Rob, "Industry Standard" is synonymous with high volume and that's what Compaq is calling Itanium systems now. I don't see that they ever decided to call Tru64 Alpha systems "Industry Standard." Seems like they think Itanium can become the high volume server or they wouldn't be calling it Industry Standard. It will take time, no doubt, but Compaq's backing ratchets the confidence level of Itanium up a good deal, to me.
