2010 is not so far away anymore, and Nehalem-EX will probably be there before
Tukwila anyways. It feels like this announcement is a way for Intel to make
the Itanium branch less and less appealing.
ia64 has been dead for years. SGI merely provided the embalming fluid
that kept the corpse from s

I can't speak for SiCortex but the Quadrics news as reported on the
register is spot on, I'm surprised however that it's taken so long for
the news to filter through into the main-stream.
Ironically enough SiCortex were one of the first people I sent my CV

Does anyone have any opinions on which (free) programs work best for

it looks like they went commercial on the sql import side.

Sad day today. It looks like Quadrics and SiCortex are closing doors:
