Intel Bites the Bullet: Xeon Gets 64-Bit Support
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The conspiracy theorists are not always wrong. The future Xeon workstation and server processors from Intel that are based on the new "Prescott" core that was announced a few weeks ago do indeed have 64-bit memory extensions in them. With the launch of 64-bit Xeons, which will roll out in the next several months, server strategies based on Itanium and Opteron are put into a new light, if not called directly into question.

HP to Push Windows-Based Opteron Servers
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
After 18 months of secret development and the biting of many corporate tongues at Intel Developer Forum last week, Hewlett-Packard has finally announced it will deliver variants of its ProLiant X86 servers that use Advanced Micro Devices' 64-bit Opteron processors.

Microsoft Fights Unix, Linux with Free SFU
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
If you can't beat 'em, emulate 'em--and give it away for free. This is Microsoft's very smart strategy in both dealing with the opportunity presented by the vast Unix server base and taking seriously the threat presented by the growing Linux base.

Mad Dog 21/21: A Lion in the Sand
by Hesh Wiener
In November 2001, a team of French archeologists found the bones of a mummified lion in the Egyptian tomb of Maia, who had been the wet nurse of the pharaoh Tutankhamun, popularly known as King Tut. They believe the big cat was interred along with the little nurse about 1430 B.C. At first, they didn't let the cat out of the bag. But shortly after New Year's Day, at almost the precise moment Microsoft announced it was going to preserve support for Windows 98 for far longer than previously declared, the Egyptologists published their discovery in Nature.
