Fallope, Thanks for the report. Re : "The push by Unisys and IBM is expected to be the most serious attempt to date to push Wintel products into the high-end market dominated by mainframes and powerful servers running Unix. Intel has had little luck gaining traction in the space so far. However, the entry of IBM into the market (Unisys has been working in the space for some time), may be a sign that the space will get more attention. " I am quite (pleasantly) surprised by IBMs effort to push Intel high-end chips (Xeon and their commitment to Itaniums). I dont quite understand their thinking here. Wouldn't Intel chips at some point start competing with IBMs at the very high-end ? Or do they think, that its OK to risk losing their chip business, if they can make money in other areas (services etc) ? Maui.
