Microsoft turning toward an all 64-bit World

摘要

Microsoft made crystal clear last week that it is herding customers toward 64-bit platforms. And while users and analysts say that's the right direction, they also believe companies may be slow to fall in line. With the next versions of many of Microsoft's servers, including Exchange 12, Compute Cluster Server and the R2 release of the Longhorn server, Microsoft will produce only 64-bit editions. The announcement was one of many the company made last week, including the debut of a desktop search engine that includes management and deployment controls for IT, the first release under Microsoft's Dynamics brand for its struggling business applications.
