milo, Windows apps will be trivially easy to port to x86-64. Change a header and recompile. The only thing missing will be support by the Compiler vendors, MSFT, BORL and other smaller ones. C

Milo, Re: "IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_AMD64 64-bit Windows: AMD" What a joke. You think that the only think needed for x86-64 support is a new line in the header file? If it were that simple, then how come Linux seems to be needing so many revisions, and so many fixes for x86-64 support, and yet they still can't support SMP (a pinnacle of Linux!)? x86-64.org 2.4.9 Based x86-64 Linux Kernel Snapshot Released A new x86-64 linux kernel snapshot is available. Changes against the previous snapshot: Now based on linux 2.4.9 Some files merged with the i386 port. ACPI is enabled again Many driver fixes A floating signal stack frame bug in the i386 emulation has been fixed Some bug fixes to the i386 emulation Some minor cleanups. Caveats: SMP currently still non functional Yet you and Constantine think that porting Windows will be "trivially easy". siliconinvestor.com wbmw
