No. AMD64 wasn’t as popular especially in enterprise environments until just before Intel started to support it. Intel had the failed Itanium but that wasn’t the reason for Linux’s success. Linux on 32bit was still dominant at that point and the cause. I was supporting a cross-platform enterprise environment and was deep into this at the time. I saw it from the front line’s and I even implemented my company’s port to Linux. Everyone was skeptical about Itanium. Enterprises companies in most part didn’t have the luxury to experiment. |
