Your counter point is that HP is investing $1 billion per year (using fuzzy numbers)

Wow it is amazing how bombastic you can be even while
winging it in utter ignorance. I didn't pull that figure out of
thin air. HP's CEO Hurd recently said it.

"IBM and Sun Microsystems continue to take on Itanium strongly, but Hurd and Otellini said they'll be taking the offensive with the chip. "We're going to go get aggressive in the marketplace. We put a lot into this, and we've got a lot more coming," Hurd said. Itanium allies have pledged to spend $10 billion advancing the Itanium technology and market in the next five years, and $1 billion a year of that is from HP, he said."


Why are HP figure fake? Because nobody invests 29% of R&D in part of the business that brings in 1.19% of revenue. HP certainly does not.

Yeah sure Joe. Hurd is a blatant liar.
