When ever bean counters are slashing, they usually assume they are doing things to satisfy the investors. With such a mindset it is possible that someone will preferentially choose profitable x86 (and x86-64) rather than a much less profitable Itanium.
An ex DEC employee told me that he met Bob Palmer not long after he took over DEC. Palmer asked those present "What is our main product?". Loads of answers from the assembled underlings but nobody got it "right" until Palmer proudly announced that Digital's main product was the share price.
Says it all really.
However Palmer destroyed his main product as much as he did everything else.
Yeup. Bean counters seem to always make a mess of things.
