SEATTLE (AP) - Microsoft Corp. said Wednesday it will release a higher-powered
64-bit version of its planned Windows XP operating system aimed at supporting
servers and other large-scale business applications.

Both the server and the workstation versions of the operating system will be
bundled with Intel's planned Itanium 64-bit processor and sold as part of a
computer package, Microsoft said. The products will be released Oct. 25, the same
day Microsoft rolls out its normal, 32-bit system, aimed at personal and business
users.

The systems will largely be available through computer manufacturers and geared
toward business users with large databases or those using memory-draining
technical applications, such as engineering programs.

The bundled product aims to compete with Sun and other companies that make
high-powered products for servers and businesses.

Microsoft declined to specify pricing, saying it would depend on the other
components.
