Joe, Merced is a development platform. I wouldn't expect a lot of machines sold outside of developers, or some rare, early adopters. There is little infrastructure, no major OS that has been launched (from Microsoft or Enterprise Unix), and software is limited. Not only that, but you realize the performance story. Most of these things are going to vastly improve this year, still well ahead of any competition. AMD will launch Hammer early in 2003, but they won't have a major OS until at least 2004, and software isn't going to catch up until long after that. I certainly don't see the guaranteed failure that you AMDroids are predicting. But I am certain as rain is wet that you'll continue your gloating until proven otherwise, and that probably won't happen for a long time. Therefore, get your yuks now, because I'll be bookmarking every one of your idiotic posts to show you afterward what fools you all are. wbmw

Joe Blow - Re: "I don't think there is any market for IA-64 software." Then why do people keep writing software for the ITanic?

The solutions -- in use today at Amazon.com -- will be available for demo at LinuxWorld Conference & Expo, Intel booth #739, January 29-February 1 in New York. The Geodesic suite of products impacts the entire Linux application lifecycle -- including development, quality assurance and deployment. Geodesic's products consist of development tools to identify software problems during application development, testing solutions that allow for application validation in real world scenarios, and application runtime solutions that monitor and fix problems in deployed software automatically. The solutions require no changes to existing hardware and no changes to application source code. eBusiness giant Amazon.com enlisted Geodesic to ensure their Linux application performance and reliability, while meeting abbreviated time-to-market requirements. Amazon.com uses Linux to support the face of their online store, which handles more than 23 million visitors. "Using Geodesic on our Linux applications, we can now deliver software faster and more reliably, allowing us to address our customer needs and focus on our core business," explains Rick Dalzell, CIO of Amazon.com. "Amazon.com is one example of how Linux quickly is moving into the mainstream applications that run corporate America and how Linux increasingly is involved in running business critical applications," says Geodesic founder and chief technology officer Michael Spertus. "Geodesic solutions provide companies a safety net, minimizing the risk and cost of deploying these solutions into the enterprise." The Geodesic Suite For companies wanting to bring Linux into the corporate suite, the same Geodesic solutions used to support applications running on other major operating systems now are available on the Linux platform.
