Microsoft is holding a series of IT administrator-focused Webcasts this week on the transition to 64-bit Windows computing. "The shift to mainstream 64-bit computing is underway, and Microsoft wants to help you gear up for this important milestone in our industry," the company said on its page listing the Webcasts.
Microsoft has 64-bit support for Intel Itanium 2 processors in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and SQL Server 2000. The company is currently building versions of Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005 and the .NET Framework 2.0 that will support the 64-bit extensions to the x86 instruction set.
