Taiwan.CNET.com 今天丟出 這篇 :

微軟承諾將銷售Itanium版的Longhorn 伺服器軟體，以作為英特爾和微軟合作推動執行在高階處理器上的Windows 市場行動的一部分。

絕大部分Windows作業系統都執行在主流x86 處理器上，如英特爾Xeon或AMD的Opteron。由於Itanium處理器的非相容性，導致該高階晶片未獲得廣泛應用，所以微軟先前對Itanium的支持並不積極。

現在情況已經有了轉變。微軟正在沿用英特爾和惠普結盟的例子，希望借Itanium打開自己的伺服器市場--銷售能夠處理關鍵任務的多處理器伺服器。

我不清楚台灣這邊有多少廠商使用 Itanium 平台 ( 我猜應該不多吧, 甚至根本沒有..:shock: ) .
不過, 我還是覺得 Itanium 很難打出好市場...XD
