Blame Visual Studio .Net

摘要

I dreamed that microsoft put me in charge of development for its 64-bit enterprise server applications, the Exchange and SQL Server, and so on, all of which travel collectively as Windows Server System. I was asked to find out why some elements of WSS won't run on 64-bit Windows, even though Opteron and 64-bit Xeon run 32-bit apps unmodified. "That doesn't make sense," I said to myself as I sized up my expansive corner office. I awoke feeling uneasy and got back to watering the plants in Steve Jobs' Thursday Afternoon Auxiliary Office. Water is truly relaxing and an aid to focus — and damned if that dream didn't start making sense.
