Another nice catch by the a Aces poster, Ken: aceshardware.com From the Windows .NET Server RC1 Review on Paul Thurrott's SuperSite: "But getting the 64-bit products out there is an important step for Microsoft, because that market will someday surpass the 32-bit products. "Eventually everything will be 64-bit," Brian Valentine, the Senior Vice President of Microsoft's Windows Division told me. "The computing world will move there over time. But it's going to take many, many years." The next Windows Server version--code-named Longhorn--will include support for Intel's 64-bit Itanium family, of course, but it will also support 2-4 other 64-bit platforms, including AMD's Opteron, said Brian Valentine. "We will only support high volume 64-bit platforms," he said, alluding to problems Microsoft had supporting alternative architectures such as the MIPs and PowerPC on NT 4. "We will support them fully with key enterprise applications. There may be a slight lag time after the x86-64 release [of these applications], but we will support [the new platforms]." Valentine wouldn't elaborate on which 64-bit platforms Microsoft was currently evaluating. So it looks like the support will be in Longhorn, which is what I was afraid of when AMD posted this FAQ about 3 months ago. amd.com Joe
