Microsoft NOT supporting Itanium?

[swestrup]

Well, THIS took me by surpise. Microsoft is opting not to support Itanium on its coming release of Windows Server 2003 Compute Cluster Edition. Is this a sign that Microsoft is thinking of distancing itself from Intel?

Hell, no. It's just a sign that Microsoft can't debug its shit. They must have made the same mistake that they made with Windows95: develop on the existing platform and figure they can port later - but without explaining the second step adequately to the programmers.
