| 238364 | 2004-05-22 02:15:00 | "Both Intel and AMD are committed actually to providing compatible processors there, and this will be a transition that essentially eliminates memory limits. And it's going to be a very smooth transition, unlike the transition from 8-bit to 16-bit, which was a long time ago. In the early '80s, 16-bit to 32-bit was a bit painful in the late '80s-early '90s. This one, the chips run both the old stuff and the new stuff, so transitioning the software is very, very simple." Bill and intel tried to po po 64 bit mainstream computing a few years ago. 16 bit OSs ran 8 bit proggies. 32 bit OSs( OS2/NT based/*nix via emulation) run 16 and 8 bit proggies in emulation so what has changed? |

| 238365 | 2004-05-22 02:21:00 | This also tickled my fancy- "Now, we think of the work of Microsoft in building software that runs on these devices as delivering on a dream of seamless computing, where your information is there when you want it, and you don't have information you don't care about. Information is summarized in a meaningful way." | mark.p (383) | ||
