Tenchu, I imagine the truth is somewhere between the two extremes you presented. I'm sure folks out in the field are somewhat concerned, but not by any means pulling their hair out.

Tenchu, this is an "errata"? I'm sorry, but "your chip may silently cause data corruption and we'll replace it free of charge" is more than what that word is typically used to describe. I'll bet you a number of OEMs, who've never been thrilled with the Itanium family in the first place, see this as much more than a "don't care". Rather, something more like a "last straw". Imagine being a sales guy at a tier 1 OEM trying to sell Itanium-based products to customers. Your task just went from difficult to nearly impossible.
