64-bit Vista?

[hrljr]

Is Microsoft planning to release a 64-bit version of Vista? There has been
no specific mention of this in any press materials released to date.

 

[Travis King]

Yes, they will release a 64-bit version as well as 32-bit. They should both
be released at the same time I believe. I've even heard rumors that the
32-bit version and the 64-bit version will be combined in one disc, but
that's just a rumor - I don't know for sure.

 

[Andre Da Costa [Extended64]]

Yes, there will be 64 bit Editions of Windows Vista except for Windows
Starter 2007 which will remain 32-bit. The 64-bit version is currently
available Technical Testers, MSDN and Technet Subscribers.

Only).

And, For MSDN, it's Operating Systems Level or Higher, in other words, MSDN
Library Subscriber's are Out of Luck!

 

[Zack Whittaker \(R2 Mentor\)]

Aye ) but as the "MSDN Operating Systems" suggests... it's OS's and below
really )

Thank you. This is one the reasons I'm even thinking about upgrading to
Vista. The other two are built-in support for IPv6 and HD video. If
Microsoft reneges on any or all of these, I guess I'll being using my
current XP setup for the next five years(or at least until I master Linux).
