chipguy, are you serious? I know you were always partisan towards Itanium but your recent posts sound like a salesman trying to sell a used car that won't run!
A clear sign that IPF is starting to impact IBM's RISC sales. POWERx competes against IPF for IBM customer interest amd IPF was by far the preferred choice last last year in high growth server segments like Linux based systems. With POWERx in a fight for survival against IPF momentum IBM realized it can't afford to lend any bit of support to the other side.
So now IBM drops IPF because it competes too heavily with Power. Yeah, that's believable! IBM drops a product line that is profitable and growing by leaps and bounds, and chase away customers to HP, to protect Power? That is what you want us to believe?
That's incredible.
Which is another way of saying that you have lost all credibility.
