Ouch! Makes linux symposium look really cheap.

How so? Microsoft has just announced there won't be any future windows
versions for it. About 2/3 of itanium boxes run HP-UX or other HP unix,
and about 1/3 run linux. Less than 5% run windows, and hence counts as
nearly none given the total number of itanium boxes out there. I just
don't see how it could ever become important.

That could have been interesting. I believe nvidia's cuda/openCL stuff
uses it too.
