Re: Microsoft has drawn a line in the sand. On Tuesday, at the IT Forum in Barcelona, officials went public with a list of software which the company is planning to deliver 64-bit versions only. The list: Exchange Server 12, Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, the Longhorn Small Business Server, Microsoft's midmarket server, code-named "Centro," and Windows Longhorn Server R2 (the Windows Server release expected around 2009) . All of these "will be exclusively 64-bit and optimized for x64 hardware,"

Oops, there goes Intel's mobile sales. Poor 32-bit Yonah based laptops won't be able to run high compute grid and server software expected for release in 2009.
