I have it already you might say. But are you leveraging the 64-bit power by running a native 64-bit OS? Probably on a server but not on a workstation yet. Be it as it may. InformationWeek has a nice article titled "With Latest Server, Microsoft Rides The 64-Bit Range". There's some food for thought and Randy George, the author of this article, is right, "The Windows Server 2008 Los Angeles launch gala will be a requiem for 32-bit computing". At least on the server side, this will be the last launch of a 32-bit Windows OS.
Other interesting topics covered:
- Impact assessment of deploying 64-bit servers
- Virtualization (Hyper-V)
- Licensing, licensing and licensing
- Windows PowerShell
- Terminal Services and Remote Applications
- Supported resources (CPU etc) per Windows SKU
- Network security enhancements
