Microsoft Corp (MSFT)

I really don't care what you can get from MSFT today

since it won't run on anything you own. It is for SERVERS running iTanium chips. That's the end of it, pretty much. You can't run YOUR APPLICATIONS ON THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for 64 bit chips and Oses, the issue is far more interesting and complex than your usual modem fixer can understand or explain....

Here's some links from the horse's mouth for you to read on the subject that you are so interested in:
