The Itanium Solutions Alliance is useful for us. If you're a company like ours, you try to stake out ground to be the high-performance player in the marketplace. If you can do that with a robust ecosystem underneath that, that doesn't feel esoteric — high-performance systems with something that feels like it has some weight on it so you're not just betting on SGI alone — that's a better story for customers.
