Gabriel Consulting Group survey on Oracle and Itanium

(click for full size)

A massive 77% of survey respondents say Oracle dropped development support of Itanium to kill HP's Itanium server product lines. The rationale: If Oracle software isn't available on these systems, the workloads would naturally migrate to Oracle's Solaris Unix variant.
