It's really the next step in the evolution of desktop management systems. Today, management systems rely on the integrity of the operating system that they're trying to manage, and most of the time the reason you want to manage something is because the operating system is broken. Intel is breaking that link with these new systems.

Long term, the big question is whether Intel and HP can drive the Itanium into the high-volume market. If anything is going to replace the x86 processor, it is going to be the Itanium, but that is not going to happen for the next 10 to 20 years.

Intel has some breathing room, but they need to get moving.

Intel has pretty much dominated the computing environment, but it made some decisions that cramped its progress. It hasn't been able to handle the needed performance increases.
