Longhorn.

Wow. I don't recall Muglia making that statement at the summit, I
think he would have been beaten up pretty bad....
"Muglia made several product announcements during his keynote address.
As part of its commitment to 64-bit computing, Microsoft has been
delivering products that are optimized for 64-bit, including the newly
released SQL Server™ 2005, Visual Studio^® 2005 and Virtual Server
2005 R2. *To help customers take full advantage of the power of 64-bit
computing, products including Microsoft^® Exchange Server “12,”
Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, Windows Server™ “Longhorn” Small
Business Server, and Microsoft’s infrastructure solution for midsize
businesses, code-named “Centro,” will be exclusively 64-bit and
optimized for x64 hardware.* In a future update release to Microsoft’s
upcoming Windows Server “Longhorn” operating system, code-named
Windows Server “Longhorn” R2, customers will see the complete
transition to 64-bit-only hardware, while still benefiting from 32-bit
and 64-bit application compatibility. For the highest-scale
application and database workloads, Windows Server on 64-bit
Itanium-based systems will continue to be the premier choice for
customers for years to come."
The LH SBS package is pretty funny too... Imagine going into all of
those small companies and telling them they don't have a choice but to
buy a new server when they want to get the new security enhancements.
I hope MS decides to support K3 and Exchange K3 for some time. Though
I am already seeing a huge reduced emphasis and making K3 work right now.
Any good non-GNU message/collaboration apps out there? Something with
maybe a BSD license?

This just in:
//"As some of you are attending IT Forum in Barcelona, I want to make
sure those of you who are not get the latest updates. ////At IT Forum,
Microsoft will announce broad support for 64 bit across many of its
product lines. As part of that announcement we will be announcing that
Exchange 12 will be 64 bit only. This is a significant decision for us
and it is one that we did not make lightly. Many of you and your
customers may have questions about why Exchange 12 will be 64 bit only
and the mail below provides some background on the factors that lead
to this decision and also the benefits from 64 bit that we are seeing
in our early dog food & TAP deployments."//
