Itanium Server Software List
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itanium#Software_support

Windows XP
Windows 2000
Windows Server 2003

Microsoft server applications include SQL Server, Operations Manager, CRM Server, IIS, Visual Studio, and the .NET Framework.
Microsoft has announced support for Itanium on its upcoming Longhorn Server operating system. It is being positioned as the top end processor for the most demanding workloads such as database servers, operations management, and customer relationship management.

HP's UNIX operating system, HP-UX has been available on Itanium since the processor's introduction in 2001.

In June 2003 OpenVMS was added to the line up of operating systems able to run on these processors.

The HP NonStop operating system also runs on Itanium. NonStop is used in many of the world's trading and financial markets.

The Linux kernel and multiple GNU/Linux distributions run on Itanium, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Debian, and the version SGI offers on their Altix machines. In Jan 2002, Gelato.org, a community for the propagation of Linux on Itanium was created.

FreeBSD has supported Itanium systems since release 5.0.

Itanium support in NetBSD is currently (as of 2006) under development.

Sun developed a port of Solaris for Itanium, but later abandoned the effort in 2000[1].

IBM worked with SCO to port AIX to the Itanium processor as part of Project Monterey but this was never officially released "since continued delays in production availability of Itanium systems eroded the enthusiasm and critical solution support of partners and ISVs, while industry focus shifted toward the substantial growth and momentum of Linux on 32-bit Intel systems." [2]

An Itanium port of Tru64 UNIX was developed by Compaq [3], but canceled after HP's acquisition.

As of early 2006 there were over 7000 software applications running on Itanium servers offered by over 75 hardware vendors around the world.

I really doubt Cell will go anywhere  Prognosticator | 07/18/06
You are clearly detached from reality.  michael_t | 07/18/06
Yes, but Intel needs to use the time machine and go back 3 YEARS  michael_t | 07/19/06
Unfortunately, Montecito's performance is not even up to par with  michael_t | 07/18/06
Could you at least try to rent a clue?  ShadeTree | 07/18/06
I am impressed: Idin't know that U guys at k-mart were interested in IA64  michael_t | 07/18/06
Must be a slow night at the tech desk in Quebec.  ShadeTree | 07/19/06
You are as accurate as expected wink  michael_t | 07/19/06

U are welcome, but next time do your HW first.  michael_t | 07/20/06
If Conroe and Woodcrest are so great, why bother with Monticeito?  Mr. Roboto | 07/18/06
Not only that Montecito is not even competitive to its competitors!  michael_t | 07/18/06
Just how could Conroe and Woodcrest be kicking ...  ShadeTree | 07/18/06
Itanium OEMs have been testing Montecito out in the last 6 months  michael_t | 07/19/06
