No doubt Intel is heading into PR disaster. Itanium is already quite compromised.

What I find interesting, is that if you go to the intel web page, and search on the name of this "supposed" intel "representative", you get nothing....

Of course, if you then input the name of the person that said the story was B.S., TA-DA, you find he's a member of intel Public Relations:

So, even if this Manetta person does work for intel, it is very likely that he IS NOT an "intel representative", as the Inquirer claimed. So I have to question who this person is, why the Inquirer says he's a "representative", when it appears he's not, so I don't understand what makes the Inquirer say those things, much less believe that Manetta knows WTF he's talking about. Good for Web Page hits?
