I also found a ref to "AMD64" in the MSDN documentation that comes with the beta version of visual studio .NET. Also the same MSDN makes clear that IA64 is only one of may 64 bit flavors, along with Alpha. Microsoft has clearly not designed for IA64 only.

Stribe, pretty inexpensive for Microsoft to put that amd reference in that compiler directive, or spec. Now let's see them go the next step and turn that miniscule effort into an actual, typical "years in the making and a cast of thousands" Redmond project. We'll see. TV

Stribe and others, maybe I ought to clarify myself. I expect Sledgehammer to meet the same fate as Mustang, i.e. enter oblivion. I do expect AMD to successfully launch Clawhammer in some form or other (single and dual-processor systems). But Sledgehammer is AMD's plan for 4-way and 8-way SMP space, just like Mustang was before it was cancelled. And based on AMD's failure with Mustang, I expect Sledgehammer to also slip into oblivion, perhaps to be replaced by whatever their next attempt at high-end servers will be. Tenchusatsu
