Did you know the majority of new server shipments today contain 64-bit
processing power? The shift to mainstream 64-bit computing is underway, and
Microsoft wants to help you gear up for this important milestone in our
industry. In addition to our current support for Itanium, our next wave of
products will provide native support for x64 processors (i.e., AMD Opteron,
Intel Xeon EM64T). These products include: Windows Server 2003 x64, Windows
XP Professional x64 Edition, SQL Server 2005 (Yukon), Visual Studio 2005
(Whidbey), and the .NET Framework 2.0.
From November 1-5, the MSDN Team is delivering a webcast series that will
help you take advantage of the sweeping change in technology offered by
64-bit computing.
â?¢ Run existing 32-bit code without modification on 64-bit Windows
â?¢ Write native 64-bit code (managed and unmanaged)
â?¢ Learn about the next generation of development tools
â?¢ Find out about 64-bit processor architectures
Bonus: Attend a live webcast in this series and submit an evaluation to be
entered for a chance to win one of many great prizes, including the first
prize â?? one 64-Bit Acer Ferrari laptop. Other prizes include Windows Server
2003 Adminâ??s Pocket Consultants, Kensington WiFi Finders, and FM Auto Scan
