re: Itanium support has been growing, not shrinking.
I did not say anything to contradict that. Itanium is starting from 0 so it would be very hard to shrink from there :-))
Recall that Rambus was expanding at much faster pace before it imploded.
I am not saying that that would be the fate of Itanium as well but rather it is way to early to tell. The software support would decide it's market penetration.
Itanium would have 2 year head start on amd's 64 but amd's solution is not without some advantages either.

Tenchusatsu, "Look at the trend, Albert. Itanium support has been growing, not shrinking. This is contrary to Rambus, where Intel's support was still 100% for quite a while in the face of shrinking support."

With Albert, you might be wasting your breath. He's the kind of person that uses the "changing tech environment" argument to explain how Intel as a whole may not exist in the next couple years. Itanium is just a footnote in his larger, more insane, argument.
