wbmw, The last time there was a significant revolution in servers, it was with Sun on Solaris. Even that big, for a while, success story didn't start happening until Sun bought the E10000 hardware platform from SGI, who'd gotten it from Cray. I would think that with HP, IBM, Compaq, and undoubtedly Dell, plus Fujitsu, Hitachi, NEC and a bunch more pushing Itanium, it should do well. Of course, it depends on a lot of software besides. Still, before Sun, the revolutions were mostly whatever IBM, and sometimes DEC, pushed. So, the big hardware companies are really the ones that have pushed, and gotten, revolutionary new server acceptance. It's been a while, will be interesting to watch. Tony
