Microsoft teases AMD over 64bit .Net Server | |

Will Microsoft offer a version of .Net Server for the AMD's 64-bit processors? The company won't say, but according to the Windows boss... it could Microsoft is playing wait-and-see with AMD's 64-bit Opteron processor. The company has no definite commitment to ship a version of its .Net Server operating system for the new processor, though both will be available at the same time, around April of 2003. The stance was laid out at Microsoft's IT Forum event in Copenhagen on Thursday by Microsoft's Windows supremo. | ||

#1 -- Also in a few builds before that one.
I'd say it's pretty much a given. MS has supported multiple CPUs on NT before. NT only went x86-only with Win2k RC 1 after Compaq dropped Alpha support. There have been articles stating that in the future, Windows will again support many different processors. It really depends on platform vendors providing support for their CPUs. Wow. It's even mentioned in this very article: --------------------------------- "Our stance is that with .Net Server, it is up to the hardware manufacturers to deliver hardware, and we will support it," said Brian Valentine, senior vice president for Windows at Microsoft." Support for the 64-bit AMD processors will be an inherent feature in Longhorn, the next desktop version of Windows, due later in 2003, said Valentine. Despite his unwillingness to commit, Valentine did emphasise that delivering for AMD's 64bit Opteron would be easy. "I'm ahead of the curve this time. With Intel's Itanium, I was behind." If Microsoft does ship a 64-bit version of .Net Server at launch, it would most likely be on a separate disk, said Everitt. ---------------------------------------- He probably didn't want to commit because the Opteron isn't yet available, and it's release date could change again as it has in the past. #2 -- If being a sheep means using what you like by choice, then yeah, I'm a sheep (unless you mean the actual animals have started using computers recently, and require the power of a 64-bit Windows OS running on AMD hardware [cloning research, maybe]).

| I've heard sheep like to use PC's and particularly Microsoft Outlook to interact with the farmers' calendars on Exchange to settle on a good time for shearing. Talk about being on the bleeting edge. :-) |
