Chapter 13. Itanium Transition from IA-32

“Itanium will affect the folks who build applications... ISVs such as PeopleSoft and SAP, and even the casual developers. Also [Itanium will affect] the folks who use these application-enterprises as well as individuals who benefit from the use of computing-both the direct beneficiaries, like people who know they are using the computer, as well as indirect ones. Itanium...is going to have a very, very significant impact on the [technology] industry at large.”

—Rajiv Gupta, HP Technical Lead on the IA-64 Processor Family
