HP Launches Four-Way ProLiant with Opterons
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

IBM may have been the first tier-one server maker to support the AMD Opteron processor, which it did a year ago, but Hewlett-Packard wants to be the first one to support the Opteron in a four-way machine that is capable of supporting bigger workloads than IBM's two-way eServer 325 machine.

VMware to Support Linux Partitions on 64-Bit Opterons, Xeons
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

The VMware software unit of storage array maker EMC announced this week that it intends to support 64-bit hardware with its virtual machine partitioning software, which runs on both workstations and servers. Up until now, VMware has been coy about supporting 64-bit hardware or software, but the growing popularity of the AMD Opteron chips, the advent of the Intel 64-bit Xeons, and the delivery of 64-bit versions of Windows and Linux this year made VMware finally conclude that it was time to support 64-bit platforms.

As I See It: We've Come a Long Way, Maybe
by Victor Rozek

When I started sixth grade, my parents decided to invest in my education. These were the days before parents loaded their children with computers and assorted electronic gadgets, which both simplify and complicate the process of learning. All of human knowledge had not yet been stuffed onto a CD; there were no search engines, and cell phones did not double as cameras and calculators.
