LOS ANGELES—The significant hardware trends driving IT industry today have resulted in "a perfect storm," a time of great change and opportunity for the industry, Bill Laing, general manager for Microsoft's Windows Server division, told attendees here at WinHEC on May 16.
Microsoft is gung-ho about the transition to 64-bit computing for both the industry and customers. Chairman Bill Gates told attendees at WinHEC 2005, "The 64-bit generation has moved the bar higher and brought performance benefits, large memory support and an enhanced layer of hardware protection, especially the no-execute bit, which defeats a large class of exploits."
