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. |

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

Most people that use computers don't care about Linux.

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

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 wasting time, and bandwidth. You're either a troll or very stupid. The main purpose of this post is to draw attention to the fact that Microsoft is taking this project way too lightly. 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. -- Ian. EOM |

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) - Jacob "Pon Fart" skrev i en meddelelse ...
