Joe, I think Intel is afraid of June 4th for some reason.

This Itanium 'launch' seems forced and premature, since, as you say, it's just another pilot, really, and they've already 'launched' that at least once.

This increases my suspicion that AMD has managed some big partners for the SMP intro, and this is an Intel PR effort to blunt the impact. Much like they jabbered on and on about Willamette right around last year's Thunderbird release.

Joe - Re: "and you think that someone will just load the Advanced server in this shape and run it? Seems like another pilot to me for at least another 5 months."

It may well be - but it IS available and customers WILL be able to deploy it for system evaluation and checkout.

After all, 5 months isn't very long in Server-Time.
