The last Windows to support Itanium is Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7, and Server 2008 / Vista ran on Itanium too.

  Paul, I hate to disagree with you, I always enjoy your comments, but Wikipedia says (and it may be wrong) that while 2008 supported IA-64, both Vista and W7 do not support IA-64.

    Ah, actually you might be right. Well fwiw it exists, we just don't sell it.

      In reality though you don't sell any version of Windows for Itanium. You just offer to sell them. :-)

        On a tertiary note, every once in awhile I have to debug through optimized IA-64 assembly, it hurts my brain - if you think understanding x86 or amd64 is hard, try an ISA where every instruction has like 20 side-effects... I try to avoid it as much as humanly possible

      Touche, I also forgot you actually work for them, so you'd be the one to know ;)
