64-Bit Windows XP Released To Manufacturing

My first post regarding this topic may have been a little too inflammatory. This edit is just the facts.

Intel came out with a 64 bit processor that either wouldn't run 32 bit code or would not run 32 bit code as well as a 32 bit processor.

AMD came out with a 64 bit processor that could ALSO run 32 bit code.

This was a great idea. This chip allowed you to upgrade your system/server with a chip that would allow you to run all of your existing 32 bit code today... Then when you are ready/able you could replace your 32 bit applications with 64 bit applications when you could.

AND has had their 64 bit processors available to the public for YEARS!

Microsoft released a free beta of Windows XP 64 that would only run for a year. This version of XP lacked some of the features of the 32 version of XP.

Intel is now ready to start selling 64 bit processors with 32 bit code execution ability.

Microsoft is now ready to RELEASE all of their 64 bit Applications and Operating Systems.

You connect the dots...
You do the math...
