Bill, In my entirely unqualified opinion, I think IBM would be absolutely mad to spend any time or money on an Itanium port. The Itanic looks sure to be consigned to the trash-heap of history fairly quickly now that Intel have admitted defeat and adopted the AMD64 instruction set. I'd sit tight and wait until there's an Opteron & Xeon "IA32e" 64-bit port. You'll be able to buy Opteron boxes from HP, Sun, IBM and maybe even Dell by the middle of next quarter.
BTW, I wonder what's happened to the UV porting effort? There have been very few (none at all for Windows, in fact) new postings to the Product Availability Matrix since before Christmas. ?

Perhaps we should chill for a few months... I gather that HP-Ux runs on Itanium now. What is IBM's timetable for rolling out Itanium servers with AIX? When is UV targeted to run on Itanium?
