R2 is probably 2 years after that.
2009 or 10ish?
Gawd I hope I'm not running this same 32 bit hardware that I bought in
2004...those harddrives are at my age tolerance point

Realistically figure Longhorn in 2007. Companies that lease hardware

getting x64 or very close to it. I doubt most are as I don't believe
the acceptance is anywhere as deep as MS seems to imply in that
release, heck I still see W2K and E2K on old old hardware on a
regular basis. Actually more regularly than I see E2K3 and K3.
OK - but Longhorn in its current time frame which I think You are
talking about 2007 release will still support 32-bit architecture.
This press release states that Longhorn R2 will be the version which
will be 64-bit only. I don't know what is a time frame for LH R2 -
maybe we will get rid of 32-bit boxes as aservers till then for other
reasons (64-bit may become cheaper then 32-bit)
