Looks like Sun still views as Itanium as a liability for Intel/HP:
<URL:http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=37116>
| Intel CEO, Paul Otellini said Sun was a "good company to work with"
| but added he didn't want to get into the Itanium "religious war".


Paul Otellini: "It would be the wrong thing to do to reopen the
religious war on Itanium; if they [Sun] support it then we'd love it,
but if they don't then it's a business decision on their side".
