Dan, Re: You're posting links that confirm what you're calling "FUD!"
Learn the difference between FUD and sensationalism. The former is posting about IBM and Dell dropping Itanium support, when we all know this isn't true. Sensationalism comes from the editorial comments of press who like to focus on the most interesting parts of the news, not necessarily the fair and complete truth. This I don't mind, and I did not call it FUD in my previous response.
