Bill Gates to Preview Windows for Intel's Itanium Chip ORLANDO, Fla. (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) Chairman Bill Gates will announce on Wednesday a preview release of its Windows operating system that will run on Intel Corp.'s (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) forthcoming Itanium microprocessor, the two companies said. The Itanium chip is important for Intel, because it is its first foray into 64-bit chips, which handle data in 64-bit increments instead of today's 32-bit chips. All of the chip giant's current chips are now 32-bit microprocessors and include its Celeron, Pentium III and Xeon brands. The Itanium chip, previously code-named Merced, has been delayed once. Originally slated for release in the first half 2000, Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel said in 1998 that it would be delayed until the second half of that year. It is now slated for volume production in the third quarter.
