At the Intel Developer Forum held in the roasting California desert resort of Palm Springs, Intel president and CEO Craig Barrett gave the first public demonstration of the Merced processor, the first in Intel's IA-64 product family. (The successor chips will include the McKinley in 2001, and the Madison and Deerfield, scheduled for 2002.) Working with an early engineering prototype, Barrett demonstrated work-in-progress, 64-bit versions of Windows and Linux. For the Linux community, the forum was further proof that the upstart, open source, creature-of-the-Internet OS has gained a kind of perceptual equal footing with Windows - at least for the all-important Internet server market.
