Intel ready to hire additional Itanium engineers

While I do not have any insight into the nature of the Itanium design team, I can't help but guess that the best(and vastly un-emphasized) event was the placement of the entire Itanium project under one roof (Intel). I can envision how having two cooks (HP and Intel) in the kitchen was a formula for disaster. Going forward, I think the product will improve significantly just by the fact that it will at least be more focused with clear goals inline with the rest of Intel products.

IMHO
