Shaping Up Nicely : Microsoft’s XP Professional X64 Edition | |
|
||
| Time: 13:30 EST/18:30 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Here at GamePC, we've been following the progress of Microsoft's 64-bit Windows variants with a closer eye than most. We've seen Windows XP 64-bit Edition progress from a barely functional core operating system to the full-featured, release quality version which we're looking at today. The applications and drivers appeared to be solidifying, and Intel's recent announcement that their Xeon EMT64 processors would be compatible with the current builds of Microsoft's 64-bit Windows appeared as if it would be the final stepping stone before this major operating system release. | ||

| Meanwhile I've been running Gentoo AMD64 on my desktop for months and about 90% of the system AND application run natively at 64Bit. Only a small proportion of things need 32bit emulation. I can browse the web, read email, print, create and edit spreadsheets and document, download pics from my digital camera, listen to music, burn cds, and anything else i could want to do. Almost all of it in 64bit native mode. |

Whoah, what is that new "sponsored" link crap that i just noticed all about? Now THAT is ugly. Thankfully I have the AdBlock extension installed in Firefox. This post was edited by tgnb on Friday, August 27, 2004 at 14:24. |

Windows XP Professional X64 Edition. Too long of a name. Maybe MS can shorten the OS name to simply "Windows X64" and not release a Home version.
skulhedface would probably rename the OS using an entire pedantic chapter of a text book. |

"#1 Visual Studio? SQL Server? Office 2003?"
I don't require these on my desktop to do what I want to do. What's your point? |
