Itanium will prove to be a failure on technical and economic grounds. So no Itanium for larger servers except maybe for Windows, whose own scalability problems will mask those of Intel's expensive little experiment.

Mikey Dell on Scotty in today's News.com.... Regards, John <ggg> How do you see the overseas market shaping up? China's already become the second-largest market in the world. We're the largest nondomestic company in China, after Legend. Is that still true after Scott McNealy's announcement on Sun's deal with China? I don't know what we're going to do (laughs). We're just going to have to close up shop now that Scott's there. He just continues to amaze. You don't believe him? Of course I don't believe him. Do you believe him? Of course I don't believe (McNealy). Do you believe him? Do you have contingency plans for the Linux momentum? We have a great Linux business. We're No. 1 in the United States. We have a great relationship with Red Flag in China, SuSE in Germany, and Red Hat here in the United States. So Linux is fully embraced by Dell. How do you see the client market shaping up? We're very happy to sell Linux on the client if there's a demand for it. We haven't seen a lot of demand. Is that a significant threat for Microsoft? When a computer goes down the line, it doesn't really care what operating system it has. And neither do we, so long as it's the one the customer wants. What does that do to your relationship with Microsoft, if you're the No. 1 seller of Linux? If they want to sell more products, they can work with us and we'll help them be more competitive
