wbmw,

I suppose I'll have to amend my statement to say that *if* a company relies on a single outside firm to own the designs that will be the main revenue source for their business, they better make *damn* sure that the firm has a long history of reliability in their products, their schedules, and their relationship. Newisys has a long way to go before they can fall into that category.

Good point. The server vendors who committed their main source of revenue made damn sure that they went with established vendor such as Intel for their Itanium II solution, specifically E8870 based products.

Intel's long history of reliability assured that these OEMs had their Itanium II products on market since the CPU release date since July 2002. Oops chipset not ready till September. Oops, September 2002 and the firm has a long history of reliability in their products puts you on hold. Oops, March 2003, is anything shipping?
