The Itanium and other 64-bit processors should have no effect on Java 
programs -- the function of the JVM is the same regardless of the 
platform that it runs on.

Sun has already released versions of the JVM for Windows and Linux 
64-bit systems running on the Itanium.  Note that this is essentially 
Beta software -- the license does not allow commercial use.
