Hi Tony, RE: "The key is to expand this at the expense of mainframes " I wasn't putting mainframes in the category of high volume hardware products. I agree that Intel is definitely ahead on Servers with Linux. But I was focused on the word volume and not the Server market. Either you're wrong, or I am. Maybe I'm off on the use of the word volume, which is a relative word. I think (but may be wrong) that other hardware product lines on Linux have higher volume than these two product lines at the moment. What are the industry annual volume processor shipments of a) mainframes and b) servers and c) that are on Linux today? Regards, Amy J

From cnet on the hp/cpq deal: Jim McDonnell, vice president of worldwide marketing for the business customer unit at HP, said Wednesday that the transition team charged with overseeing HP's acquisition of Compaq Computer will try to formalize a strategy for how the new company will operate in relatively short order. ... HP's transition plan will have to tackle a number of issues. Because of the merger, HP finds itself responsible for supporting multiple server operating systems, for example: Linux, Windows NT, OpenVMS, HP-UX and Compaq's own version of Unix, among others. Eventually, HP will converge toward Linux, NT and Unix, according to McDonnell. I guess that means all intel, right???? full article at: news.cnet.com
