Here's another view: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/28/oracle_itanium_gambit/

But as someone who is on hp-ux Itanium, who remembers the 7.2 to 7.3 Oracle upgrade requiring a VMS upgrade, who remembers DEC forcing the death of PDP in favor of VAX even while an 11/70 could handle higher I/ O loads than any VAX... I'm not real sympathetic, and at the same time, having to agree with the anti-Larry sentiment I've been working with for years.

At least we're not on Rdb: http://www.openvms.org/stories.php?story=11/03/30/2407593
