"Continuing development of the RISC CPUs keeps getting more and more difficult and expensive, while Itanium is just beginning it´s lifetime cycle", Brown [Market Communications Manager HP] backs up the HP decission. Moreover, so Brown, Itanium systems will get cheaper simply because of higher production numbers, as opposed to house-made PA-RISCs.

In reply to Comment 9 (Amifan):
>Commodore intended to use the HP PA cpu for their next systems. They wanted to >move away from x86 too, unfortunatly.......well you know :)
Actually, Commodore planned to build a Windows NT box based on the PA CPU and call it "Amiga". I think that warrents more screaming from the xenophobes than AmigaOS/x86!
