Default WPA in Longhorn, but not in WinXP 64 Extended...

Everyone knows that Longhorn is more than a year off, maybe 2. But WinXP 64
Extended edition is supposed to be released this year.

However, the Longhorn Beta of Longhorn, build 4074 has WPA (Windows Product
Activation), but neither XP 64 or XP 64 2003 Server for the AMD has WPA.
Further more, there is only one serial for every version of Windows XP 64
Extended edition, whether it is version 1069 or 1184.... same serial.... To
me, this means Microsoft isn't taking the AMD 64 market seriously. And that
doesn't bode well for the Windows users. Linux is not an option to many of
users because most of the hardware and software they run have no place in
Linux. So don't recommend it, you will only be wasting time, and bandwidth.

The main purpose of this post is to draw attention to the fact that
Microsoft is taking this project way too lightly.

Ho hum..

Ok I won't recommend it. I'll just state the fact that Linux runs on more
hardware than Windows ever thought about running on. Linux distros come
with more software than windows, with the exception of virus attracting
programs. Windows has alomost exclusive rights to that.:-)

Not all of use really care.

Why would they need WPA when they have Palladium, DMA ... etc.....

I don't think Palladium has been instituted as of yet. DMA? Isn't that part
of the building blocks of life? DMA, and RMA? )

Yep fingers fast, brain dead, nearly and anagram of DRM and DMCA, which
is what I meant to type

Palladium will be in longhorn though, maybe not fully but it will be
even MS admit that, so with those included there will be no need for a
proper WPA, that is why they are predicting that software will cost
( on the drip, for every use ) and hardware will come free, the
hardware will include the bits no one wants that control access and
usability, and can switch the whole lot off if you so much as look at
anything that you have not signed your life away for.

Who said? Chances are it will come out when/if Intel get their AMD64
alike(ish) chips out.

However, the Longhorn Beta of Longhorn, build 4074 has WPA (Windows
Product Activation), but neither XP 64 or XP 64 2003 Server for the AMD
has WPA. Further more, there is only one serial for every version of
Windows XP 64 Extended edition, whether it is version 1069 or 1184....
same serial....


Why would they invest the time and resources needed for a give away
beta? They're not even bothering with security critical patches let
alone anything else.

To me, this means Microsoft isn't taking the AMD 64 market
seriously. And that doesn't bode well for the Windows users.


Quite so, Microsoft have dropped the ball on AMD64 very badly. They're
now playing catch up with Linux and BSD. In my opinion there wouldn't
have been a free public beta if it wasn't to try to stop people going to
Linux or BSD with their AMD64 hardware.

Linux is not
an option to many of users because most of the hardware and software they
run have no place in Linux.


This makes no sense. You're not trying to troll are you?

So don't recommend it, you will only be

You're either a troll or very stupid.

So what? Of course the reason it matters is the MS monopoly. If it
weren't for that no one would care if there was an MS Win for AMD64 or
not.

I do think that Microsoft takes the Win64 seriously. I was at Microsoft HQ i
Seattle in March. Their cafeteria was filled with Win64 commercials. (Not
that it proves anything, but interresting though)
