Microsoft Announces End of the Line For Itanium Support

Posted by Soulskill on from the development-dollars-well-spent dept.

WrongSizeGlass writes "Ars Technica is reporting that Microsoft has announced on its Windows Server blog the end of its support for Itanium. 'Windows Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008 R2, and Visual Studio 2010 will represent the last versions to support Intel's Itanium architecture.' Does this mean the end of Itanium? Will it be missed, or was it destined to be another DEC Alpha waiting for its last sunset?"

    Here's a hint about how meaningful POSIX compliance is.

    Windows Server 2K8 includes Interix 6.1. This combination is POSIX-compliant.
