Doug -

Elmer, why did it take IBM so long to offer an Itanium-based product, do you think? Why now? Why not 9 months ago?

I really don't know but perhaps we should quote IBM:

"IBM had to have a strong Intel 32-bit and 64-bit product line in order not to confuse customers into thinking that there's some unannounced transition to AMD in the cards," Kastner said. And IBM's Itanium support trails that of rival Hewlett-Packard, "which is betting the company on Itanium," he added.

Personally my guess is that Intel strongarmed IBM into doing it...
