This is not a debate, because then we might end up somewhere, this is a religious controversy, where nobody will ever move from where he/she got in it. I much like Duffy's contribution as an example of this.

It's a virtualization platform; its hardware is highly redundant, so it replaces a cluster of servers. And, compared to all the x64 servers, it's not even that expensive," said the data center architect.
