Sounds a bit iffy to me as well, in that if Oracle had information that
Itanium was to be canned, they might assume that they would get little
or no return on the investment needed to keep the product updated and
competitive. Love em or hate em, there could be a sound business case for
there decision, irrespective of any other machiavellian elements :-)...
