I'm really just disappointed overall with their decision to kill Alpha
and PA-RISC. Itanium really isn't that good, at least not yet, and
they're going to lose a LOT of customers by doing it.
I'm hoping the silver lining to this dark cloud is that it causes more
POWER and UltraSPARC machines to sell, driving those prices even further
down.
