First Paragraph

The Palo Alto, Calif.-based computer and printer company is launching
version 8.2 of the operating system, which for the first time will bring
OpenVMS to Itanium processors, sources familiar with the plan said. The
announcement will accompany a refreshed Itanium server product line 
that
HP will trumpet during a Webcast with Chief Executive Carly Fiorina on
Tuesday


Last couple of paragraphs
Support for the operating system initially will be available on
lower-end Itanium servers ranging from the dual-processor rx1600 to 
the
four-processor rx4640. 

A key requirement for customers to make the move to Itanium will be 
new
versions of their software, though HP offers a migration tool that eases
the change even when the software's original source code isn't
available. 

There will be 250 OpenVMS applications available for Itanium by the end
of February and 800 in 2005, HP said. That compares with 3,000 for 
other
Itanium operating systems--roughly 1,500 for HP-UX and 750 each for
Windows and Linux.
