As reported here , Windows Server 2008 is the last 32-bit version of Windows. The next version, whenever

At some point along the way, you've probably been given this advice about public speaking: (1) tell them what you're going to say; (2) tell them; and (3) tell them what you've said. I've always found that to be good guidance, yet so easy to overlook or

This is apparently old news, but its worth repeating as it came out of a presentation gave earlier today at WinHEC. According to an earlier report, As part of its commitment to 64-bit computing, Microsoft has been delivering products that are optimized

マイクロソフト、「Windows Server 2008」以後について明らかに(CNET Japan)より つい先日正式名称が決定した Longhon Server → Windows Server 2008 ですが、R2 移行に関しては 64 bit 版のみの提供になるみたいですね。

Yesterday, Bill Laing, general manager of Microsoft’s Windows Server Division, was quoted as saying in his WinHEC 2007 presentation that Windows Server 2008 would be the last 32-bit Windows operating system Microsoft would produce for either clients..

I think its abit complicated to do away with 32-bit because of limited resources in emerging markets to upgrade to required hardware.  However in developed nations I think there should be a concerted effort to shift to 64-bit.  What I would like to see you folks do with the next Windows R2 Client is to release it to OEM's in 64-bit form only.  I think this will help fill gaps in 64-bit driver development.  By the time of the next major release...it should be a safe business decision to go 64-bit only.

Well, I have to admit I was a bit confused by the piece from Joe Wilcox : "During a speech this morning,

I think it would be best for MS that Vienna be 64-bit only also.  It would make developing easier since you'd only have to focus on one version which would save you money and shorten the development period.  Also when you think about it if you add more features into the Vienna you're gonna need a more powerful processor and odds are by the time you release Vienna the only processors that will meet the requirements will probably already be 64-bit.  I don't think there's a processor produced today that isn't 64-bit and with AMD it's been that way for a few years.  Another benefit of 64-bit only Vienna is it's MS opportunity to finally bring all the neat security features in today's 64-bit OSes to the masses like ASLR and patchguard plus whatever new security stuff you'll have by 2009.
