I’m a fan of neither so I think its pretty funny. HP, I think is starting to sink.
“Apotheker presented a high-level strategy to expand HP into cloud building and services…….”
uhhm…. first, the net is stretched already. Secondly, whose nitch is HP going to take? They should have gone back to what made them big to begin with, but since they closed their last U.S. production plant years ago, and still maintain U.S. corp. headquarters, screw them. What was it she said? Americans need to get over thinking they have a job due them……. or something of that nature.
As a big fan of the Itanium chip due to it’s amazing capabilities, so it’s a sad day, Oracle also dumped the Itanium today because Intel executives “strategic focus” is the X86-64 bit chip products. Too bad. Oh well, that’s few chips to develop my software for so at least there is that… now it’s just x86-64 and ARM32/64.

Hmm….. Ellison seems to be up to his old tricks,
Nonsense, said Intel Chief Executive Paul Otellini in a reply today.
“Intel’s work on Intel Itanium processors and platforms continues unabated with multiple generations of chips currently in development and on schedule,” he said. “We remain firmly committed to delivering a competitive, multi-generational roadmap for HP-UX and other operating system customers that run the Itanium architecture.”
and
“Oracle continues to show a pattern of anti-customer behavior as they move to shore up their failing Sun server business,” said Dave Donatelli, executive vice president and general manager, Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking, HP. “We are shocked that Oracle would put enterprises and governments at risk while costing them hundreds of millions of dollars in lost productivity in a shameless gambit to limit fair competition.”

lol, Sun is passed around like some party girl until they find she’s carrying some extra luggage.
My guess is that Intel wants to drop Itanium with plausible deniability, but I doubt that HP is stupid enough to believe it. If Intel wanted to keep Oracle, they would find a way to work out a deal.
I was an Itanium designer for Intel for many years, but I don’t have any inside information about this and yesterday was the first I heard about it.
Well, it took me by surprise too, but I don’t stay nearly as current as I used to. But, with each tech company looking to expand their roles, partners are now competitors……… And Ellison is a viscous competitor. I kinda liked Oracle when it was just a db program, kept MS moving in that area.
