Facs,
I sound happy, isn't that very clear
No, it is not clear you are happy. In fact you sound worse.
Itanium is not a joke. You think you know it all. Post a link to your prediction that IBM would embrace Intel’s new 64 bit extensions. You can not. Post a link that IBM has decided to drop the Itanium. You can not. Post a link that HP has dropped the Itanium. You can not. You are in denial, my friend. Post a link or don’t post at all.
As for the prediction that Itanium would be brought to the masses, that was never the case. Post a link that Intel itself made these claims. I can only recall speculation that Itanium could come to the masses and only after as much as a decade into the future. This is an eternity in technology and only the AMD fanatics (and their media surrogates) are dumb enough to equate speculation (i.e. fiction) with fact. I will give you some ammunition to use against me. I predict that within 12 months after it ships, SUN will adopt Intel’s 64 bit CPU. Do you predict otherwise? Say so. You will not because you are worried.
So now your theory on Intel bossing MSFT around has been torn to shreds.
You are delusional. Post where I said that Intel is bossing anyone, much less MSFT around. You misunderstood or are making this up. You and your AMD fanatics see every Intel move as confrontational. It never occurs to you that Intel, listens, negotiates and adapts to the benefit of its shareholders. You are also making up that MSFT told Intel they would have to follow AMD-64. More likely, Intel and MSFT agreed a long time ago how to proceed with 64 bit extensions. MSFT statements to the effect of a single OS for 64-bit extensions is a product of that agreement. This is why Intel has its product ready to ship next quarter.
cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching
LOL. Now you are hearing bells?
IMHO
