And folks who feel that because Microsoft is choosing to support 64-bit
extensions to x86 first and Itanium later for this Compute Cluster
Edition release, and interpret this as doom for Itanium, should remember
that Microsoft first supported Itanium on Windows Server and SQL Server,
and that didn't doom 64-bit extensions to x86, for which there was still
not an offical 64-bit Windows (XP, much less Server) or SQL Server
release, last I heard.
