Windows XP X64 Goes Gold
Kasracer writes "According to The Inquirer, 'Microsoft has released the final version of Windows XP 64 to manufacturing, meaning that those with machines that have 64-32 bit processors in from AMD and latterly Intel can now see what the extra addressing brings to the party.'"
Who the hell modded this flamebait? It was a genuine question! There goes my tenuous hold on my Karma...
Quoth the server, "404."
I think the future on this front lies in XML. All MS has to do is make a simple DTD for binary:
/> />
<key value='data'>
<bit value='1'
</key>
<key value='data'>
<bit value='0'
</key>
Then dynamically compress that into a zip to save space, then convert the zip file's binary to XML to get more extensible goodness out of it. Hopefully, these steps oughta slow Windows 64 down by a good 75%.
No, you are overly critical because it is 'in' to hate MS and you'd rather not think for yourself when you can follow the crowd.
It is 'in' to hate such a major employer of people around the world, it is 'in' to hate the richest man in the world simply because he's rich and you aren't, regardless of him being the largest charitible benefactor EVER.
Want to hate a truly evil entity? One who has murdered 150,000 innocent people in Iraq? One who has intentionally destabilized world oil markets by invading Iraq for no just reason, simply so his oil friends can profit from higher prices? Hate Bush.
George Bush + Linux = "I will not let information get in the way of the fight against Windows"
Just because one woman can have a baby in nine months, doesn't mean nine women can have a baby in one month.
