... http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=11781 I posted the original article from the Inquirer speculating about Intel adopting AMD64. Frankly, bombarding stories about the same thing still won't make it true. I do think Intel will adopt AMD64, but not with Prescott. There will be a few more generations to come yet. Yousuf Khan |

The article seems to imply that there is some compelling reason for Intel to need 64-bit, x-86 compatible Windows. If there is such a compelling reason, it isn't obvious to me. Microsoft, on the other hand, which has been shipping demo copies of Windows 2003 server with magazines aimed at linux applications programmers, certainly *doesn't* want to be shut out of the Intel server market. The Inquirer editorial staff must get together and use some intoxicating substance while they fantasize together about a world in which Intel gets its comeuppance, somewhat like some usenet groups. Don't hold your breath. RM |
