Supposedly?  You know, one has been able to order Itanium machines from SGI
among others for some time now.  Compaq doesn't seem to sell Itaniums.  HP
does (the i2000).  So, perhaps it is time for some real answers about what 
it can and can't do.  SGI sells them running linux, BTW.  HP sells them
running Windows XP, linux, and HP-UX (HP-UX and XP are both included, linux
you have to supply yourself).
