RE:"Don't know how much longer MSFT will delay their AMD64 Windows though....."

Important: Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for 64-Bit Extended Systems is only compatible with 64-bit AMD Opteron– or Athlon 64-based computers. It cannot be successfully installed on 64-bit Intel Itanium–based systems.

Yes, it is an evaluation, but AMD64 was supported before Intel's.

IMO, it doesn't make sense to put two version out back to back due to extra support costs, distribution costs etc...

Ballmer says executive pay should be capped at $55k...talk about braindead.

Got a link for that?? If that's an accurate quote then I agree that it is a brain dead statement...
