Monica Re...Both HP and Compaq have decided to phase out their Unix processor development to focus their server offerings on Intel's Itanium processor, a move that would free them to combine their forces on Itanium before either had established much market momentum for that platform. And if the merger is ultimately approved, HP and Compaq expect to quickly integrate their Unix operating systems into a single OS. <<<<<<<<<< And Intel hasn't officially admitted there is a 86-64 project going on either. Nor has Hammer been officially introduced. I sincerely doubt the new company would be willing to risk the whole enchilada on Itanium anymore than Intel is. Let get real here. Intel is preparing if necessary to go with plan B, HP and Compaq would be foolish not to have a plan B also.
