Yes.

And any comparison to previous ports are not particular relevant.

When VAX to Alpha was done then DEC was one of the worlds largest IT 
companies.

When Alpha to Itanium was done then HP was one the worlds largest IT 
companies.

I don't think VSI will feel insulted if I say they are not one of the
worlds largest IT companies.

Reality.
