Intel Shipping Merced Engineering Samples

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the how-many-years-late? dept.

JDC writes "Apparently, Intel has first silicon on their IA-64 processor. I wonder how long till I can play Descent on one of those babies... ;) " Linux has been working on the simulators, and is reported to work on the actual silicon. However, contrary to prior reports, Windows does boot and run on the engineering prototype.

    I only want to hear bad things about Microsoft. I don't want to hear about MS software running! I want to hear about security problems and how they are clueless about writing and kind of decent software. I want to see stories of how they gave Mother Theresa a hard time about bundling software in the Vatican. I want to see Bill Gate getting a pie in the face. Ziff Davis has a story a day about Microsoft evil rampage against good people in the computer industry. Why cant you! DAMM YOU LIBERAL SLASHDOT MONKEYS
