One company still committed to the itanium, that is. SGI was using it, but their many problems have driven them to chapter 11:
Remember Data General (DG), the server and storage vendor that, despite some great technology, ultimately failed to capitalize on it and was sold off to EMC back in 1999*? Well SGI's new CEO Dennis McKenna was adamant in an interview with me that, despite the company recently filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the US, his company is not now simply looking for an exit strategy as DG once did.
Regardless, if they do come back, I very much doubt that the iTanic will come with them. So when will HP wise up and notice that the canoe is empty?
