You are right, a lot of work. But perhaps a lot of fun :)

About Itanium, who knows? I heard about some specific uses of Itanium. 
So perhaps a very little business with Itanium could exist sometime.

On my side I have always thought the failure of Itanium - they said 
Itanic - have been just the bad meeting between the conservatism of 
geeks and the inchoate laws of the market. Our hatred of Itanium 
contributed to the long life of the very archaic x86 to which the very 
wise Intel returned, for its greater good.

Just to initiate a great controversy :)
