CRS-X (which is 400Gbps fabric and network processors) 
should start shipping December this year.

So if anyone is thinking of buying new CRS's, by the "B" 
chassis, which is the CRS-X (enhanced) system. You can still 
run your 140Gbps (CRS-3) or 40Gbps (CRS-1) line cards and 
fabrics in the CRS-X so you only pay for what you need, and 
then look at the CRS-X line cards and fabrics in the future 
as you grow.

I've been waiting for Cisco to make the move from QNX to 
Linx for IOS XR for a while now. With the way things are 
looking at Blackberry, doubtful we'll get 64-bit support in 
QNX.
