I love the spin. HP's transition from PA-RISC to Itanium is gloom &

Income -$797 million, net profit margin -5.89%. 5 year sales
growth -6.5%. They've lost about $5 billion over the last 5 years and
lept back up from a $107 million dollar loss last year to $864 million.
If they increase sales any faster they might have to file chapter 11.
AMD-64 hasn't saved the sinking Sparc yet.
What does this have to do with the itanic and VMS?
Whatever Sun does, good or bad, has no bearing on what VMS does, good or
bad. I personally don't give a damn about Sun. Irrelevant!
EXACTLY. The article is this bizzare connection between revenue and Itanium
while comparing revenue from Dell (PC's) and SUN (losing money) to HP -
still making money, but still in the PA-RISC to Itanium transition.
