Fyo, Re:For truly critical systems, I would never go with hardware that hasn't been shipping in volume for at least a year. Does that mean you'd rule out running nuclear plant control software on Win64-Beta on a spankin' new Dell Itanium box? <ggg> Doug

Fyo - Re:"That's why "proven and stable" is not something achieved overnight - or even by 6 months of OEM testing. For truly critical systems, I would never go with hardware that hasn't been shipping in volume for at least a year. " Excellent points.
