Scumbria, <<<Merced is Merced. It is a failure. IA64 has no impact at the present time, and I see no evidence that future IA64 implementations have any better chance of success than any other new architecture which has come along in the last 10 years.>>>

You have me convinced. Engineers may fully understand the minutia of microprocessor technology, but an understanding of markets, market size, and marketing are completely different subject matters.

I understand now why engineers would make lousy CEO's. It must have something to do with evolution. Something in the DNA. Perhaps engineering and vision are mutually exclusive.

Seriously, however, only time is going to tell who is right on this subject. Bookmark this discussion. Let's come back 3-4 years from now.
