Dan, Re: "It takes a long time to build up a software base for an entirely new architecture - especially a low volume one." From a historical perspective, I would agree with you. However, from the huge number of press releases regarding software support for Itanium, I believe it intends to be an exception. wanna_bmw

Dan, <<<It takes a long time to build up a software base for an entirely new architecture - especially a low volume one. >>> Software vendors have to make that assessment to support the architecture. That is a tremendous barrier to entry for manufacturers that have little respect from the software industry. Software vendors will vote with their development dollars who they think have a viable future. Mary
