After the Intel launch of Caneland last week it was great to see the Sun 4-Socket Xeon system at IDF. Checkout the Pat Gelsinger webcast and John Fowler on stage. Nice job John! Lookout for the launch very soon.

May the force be with us!
An incredible few weeks of announcements, launches, and product previews. Where to start? Sun announces Microsoft OEM, Sun acquiring Lustre, Citrix acquiring Xen, HP acquiring Opsware, Intel launches Caneland, VMWare announces ESXLite, AMD launches Native Quad-Core, Sun launches Niagara2? Phew! I'll take a deep breath and defer the acquisition spree for another day.
From the X64 Systems side of the house, the two that standout are of course the Microsoft OEM and AMD's Quad-Core. Both on the x64 front are arguably the most eagerly awaited, and both probably have the potential of having the biggest impact on our ever advancing x64 landscape. Intel's Caneland/Tigerton 4-socket Quad-Core is extremely exciting too.
So a big thanks to AMD for the invite to the Quad-Core launch at Lucas Films and the wonderful photo opportunity Tuesday night. My kids think I'm the coolest Dad (for one day anyway), and yes they're young.
May the force be with us!
