What I find mildly amusing is the statment that the Linux Consultants cost Microsoft more money than the Windows and.NET architects. The problem I have with the statment is not that it could never be true, but the belief that the 2 groups have equivilent skillsets. Most Unix consultants I know are also skilled at supporting and capable of developing on Microsoft products as well as on unix environments, though the converse is most oftem not true.

You do know that Intel owns FX!32 with one of their deals with HP/Compaq. So this could just be a revised version of the code for the Itanium.
