Muglia: Microsoft's future is in 64-bit

C|Net | at | by Mike

With the launch of Vista coming over the next few months, Microsoft has had little opportunity to talk about anything else. But the software giant is developing new products in a range of other areas, from Exchange 2007 to virtualization to managed services.

One man with a grasp of Microsoft's overall product direction is the vice president for servers and tools, Bob Muglia.

CNET News.com's sister site ZDNet UK grabbed some time with Muglia at November's TechEd IT Forum here, to hear why Microsoft has begun announcing 64-bit only versions of its software and about its plans for managed services, virtualization and other matters.
