All of the posts I've read only talk CPUs.
Hasn't anyone noticed that MS now (quietly) has a multi-platform software virtual machine?.NET strives from cross-platform compatibility, just as Java did years, and years ago.
MS realised this IA-32/IA-64 was going to happen, and.NET quietly solves the problem. MS is pushing people to migrate their IA-32/Win32 apps to it.
As a current.NET software engineer, the specific Windows platform becomes irrelevant.
You could easily argue that MS is delaying the 64-bit world to give developers more time to migrate to.NET.

I wouldn't read too much into it. JetBlue have improved amaziningly, or should I say, the TSA have. I have 'em a lot.
For the year after 9/11, all airlines did "random security screening". Well, I can tell you that's a joke. They had a stunningly simple formula. If you were flying one-way, you got searched. When I was in a search queue, I'd ask the other people if they knew why they were being searching they didn't -- until I asked if they were on one-way tickets, they were.
I do have a problem with them giving away the information, but, it's now public. The real question is, how else has?
