Okay, my turn to plug: Itanium 2-based systems _are_ very competitive
with RISC machines, even at the mid-range and high end.

Unisys is currently selling 4 to 16-processor Itanium 2 machines.
They are very competitively priced against mid-sized RISC machines,
although pricing information is not available on the web.
SCO's UnitedLinux will be available as soon as SCO ships.
