matt writes "From a Sun Press release at Dr. Joseph Reger, Director of Technology Marketing at Siemens Nixdorf, explains, "it is true that HP will not have to do an endian transition, but it is also true that HP's Unix, HP-UX, is probably going to be the only operating system on IA-64 that runs in big endian mode. To my knowledge all flavors of UNIX on IA-64: Solaris, Linux, Santa Cruz Operation's UNIX, Digital's UNIX... and you name it--all UNIX will run on IA-64 in little endian mode and NT certainly will run in little endian mode.
