Bad news to all you AMD fans (yours truly included), Microsoft has announced that the upcoming Windows 2003, 64 bit edition will *not* have support for Opteron’s 64 bit mode!
Bad move Microsoft. Your new mantra is supposed to be “competition is good”, but this reeks of a side deal with Intel. Us, the users, want 64 bit power, but until competition helps lower costs, we can’t afford it.
Ok, maybe 64 bit is supposed to be for big iron, but someone once said that 640K would be all the memory we’d ever need. What can we do to get you to change your mind MS?
