Jozef, Re: "Neither did (or should I say does) Itanium. I am not too oprimistic about Windows support for any 64bit CPU prior to the next major revision (not XP servers, one after that)."

Windows XP 64-bit is expected later this year with full Itanium support.

Re: "However, a sufficient 64 bit Windows support for hammer is a fraction of the effort needed for Itanium, and this fraction is even smaller because MSFT can leverage a lot that has been done for Itanium."

I think you may soon realize two things. The first is that MSFT will be able to leverage very little from Itanium for Hammer (the architectures are simply too different), and second, building a Hammer OS will be harder than some seem to think.
