Windows 64 to arrive in April
According to hot sauces
By Fuad Abazovic: Monday 24 January 2005, 09:05
SOURCES CLAIMED Microsoft is planning to introduce its 64 bit operating system for Intel and AMD processors (iAMD64) on the 29th of April. The sources are close to Microsoft.
It appears there will be a release to manufacturing version of WinXP 64 in March. That's the stage before the CDs get stamped out and the boxes get printed.
Quite coincidentally, Intel will finally be ready with its full line of 64 bit capable CPUs, including Celeron 64s, close to that date. This, of course, is entirely coincidental and is just the way things can spookily happen at the same time in our industry.
Little AMD has talked and talked about 64 bit processing for ages now and soon we will see Windows tackling its version of iAMD64, just like the Linux OSes have before it.
March, April, what's the difference? In terms of aeonic transformations like Microsoft Longhorn, a month here and there is but the blinking of an eye.
Blink. µ

Can't wait - Especially when my local council will hopefully be buying me a new PC with a AMD 64-bit processor inside :w00t:
Re: Windows 64 to be released in April.
what the big difference if you run this version or the old one on a 64 bit?
Re: Windows 64 to be released in April.
That's going to be awful confusing, what they going to do in the year 2064 now? :blink:

i dont think windows xp can handle 64 bit application and intel pentiums also ;) . Hopefully my amd can run this os good..

Re: Windows 64 to be released in April.
it may be free but its also just a beta version while this will be the final version. hell thats a bit of a fine line when refering to microsoft products.
Re: Windows 64 to be released in April.
true but its been beta for over a year, and the "trail" last for a year, it comes with hot fixes and upgrades
Re: Windows 64 to be released in April.
The beta works quite well but I'm looking forward to the final. :)

All the more reason ,I'm looking to a AMD CPU 64 bit this time around . Soon I hope . Ya I know Hardware ! :D But Intel 64 bit CPU's are only avalable in Japan at the moment I think? :unsure:
Re: Windows 64 to be released in April.
I wonder how good the Celeron 64 will be. I'm surprised they arent releasing lik ea Pentium 4 64 or something like that. Celerons usually suck ass..

They will release a better version of the processor.
the celeron 64's will be teh cheaper ones.
not exactly sure if it will be called Pentium 4 64bit but it's possible. :unsure:

A low budget chip in any name or number ! But how would a 256mb cache run in 64 bit I wonder? Probably pretty fast ? :) Or is it 512 ? No Idea , but curious .
