Intel Itanium

[William Muriithi]

Afternoon,

Interesting press release from Oracle.  They are no longer supporting
Itanium.  What I found odd though is they claim Intel management
encouraged them to dump it.  How viable will it be to sustain it with
limited software "ecosystem" to borrow a misused word by tech
journalist.

>From a bit of googling, it seem only HP unix support it now.  That
kind of making it hard to ever be profitable.  And if Intel do axe it
eventually, what happen to HP Unix considering it seem to only run on
Itanium at the moment?
