RE:"The main reason it isn't dead, and Intel has such deep pockets here, is that Craig knows that when Itanium is dead meat, he is also dead meat. Craig's only option to save his name and reputation is to either make Itanium a success or get the hell out before, rather than after, so he can blame his successor. Itanium is Groves baby. Just like some of the other loser stuff Craig has had to deal with. Then again...Barrett could be blamed if Itanium will be canned on his watch...but so has Timna and Rambus per se and they haven't axed him yet. I doubt Intel will cancel iTanium any time soon with the hope that someday, somehow, it will catch on... Craig will likely be long gone by then... Jim
