Voila la partie int�ressante de l'article de la page :

The first system was a ClawHammer running 32-bit Windows XP, straight from
the box with no modifications. For those of you wondering what OS you'll need
to have in order to run the Hammer processors, your current 32-bit OS will
work just fine. Granted that with a 32-bit OS you don't get any of the
benefits of the x86-64 architecture, one of which happens to be the
additional registers made available in x86-64 mode, but it will work. The
Windows XP ClawHammer system was running Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel
test scripts nonstop without a hitch.
The next system was an identical ClawHammer system running a 64-bit Linux
port. This setup was a bit more interesting; the demo consisted of two
windows each with a a ball bouncing inside the window. The window on the left
was running a 32-bit version of the ball-bouncing demo, while the window on
the right was running an x86-64 compiled version of the same demo at the same
time. This was a simple demo used to show that working with 32-bit and 64-bit
recompiled applications concurrently was possible on such early hardware and
it worked just fine. This system had apparently been up for the past 24 hours
without a single crash, granted it was only bouncing balls all day but that's
still an accomplishment for 30-day old silicon.
Malgr� le fait que la version Linux soit capable de tourner en 32 & 64 bits
en m�me temps avec des applications X11, alors que W* n�tait pas capable de
tourner autre chose que Word et Excel (sans doute l'image de la "complexit�"
dans le monde W*) le journaliste a le culot d'�crire :
"... what's necessary is a version of Visual Studio with support for x86-64
so that the majority of application developers simply have to use a switch in
order to produce x86-64 binaries in their current development environment."
Et gcc... c'est pour les boeufs ? Comme quoi, malgr� une demo o� il n'y a pas
photo, on voit que le chemin de la reconnaissance de LInux est encore long :-(
