Kpf, Re: Could you enlight the board which of Itaniums features would look inevitable from that point forward?
Uhh... all of them. People are buying the CPU, not the features. They want something fast, reliable, and affordable. If Itanium meets these things, it can succeed in any market. It will take some years of seeding the software industry, but I can see Intel succeeding in getting the CPU everywhere, including desktops. Of course, by then, it will not be called ITanium, but rather use something more sexy for the desktop market.
