Joe, Re: "Is this something new, or MSFT pulled it since they could not make the schedule?" .NET is a big undertaking, and obviously borrows from years of development infrastructure on the x86. IA-64 is new, so you're probably right that it didn't make the schedule. I don't think it matters, though, since .NET should take a couple years to catch on in high demand. Just having the OS stable and able to run Oracle, DB2, SAP, and other high profile apps opens up a huge market to begin with. Microsoft will probably have IA-64 .NET available in the next Windows release, and by that time, the idea may have caught on a little more. Re: "I think this is enough for Intel investors to start conspiracy theories about MSFT sabotaging Itanium. What do you think?" Go ahead. You've started more ridiculous conspiracy theories before.... I wouldn't expect anything less from the person who is convinced of Itanium's "impending failure". Message 16958955 Tell me, Joe - Yamhill seems to be a well known catch-word these days, but has that stopped Itanium development, yet? I don't see any signs of litigation, either - sorry to disappoint. wbmw
