Congratulations! You paid attention. You can expect an A from me now.

The article was indeed about making Windows for AMD's 64-bit processors, and not Intel's 64-bit processors which was already supported by Windows.

I wonder what it _can_ do.

Mad.

The point is that on the box and start up screen it will say 64 somewhere. That's what's important.

(read with extreme sarcasm)

Hey just noted that.....

Windows Product Activation (WPA)

Is not active, hmmmm. Isn't that going to cause them no end of agony. Will this mean that you just can't install ANY apps the require (WPA) or get away with not activating them. I assume the former rather than the latter applies.

Anyway, Hahahaha.    :D

Mad.

Well i guess you can't say that there isn't any software that really takes advantage of the 64 bit processors.  I'm betting in the next 4 months the market is going to explode with software that supports 64 bit.
