Spoke with my Rep. about Win2k3 64Bit
I was on a conference call with my MS Rep, and he congratulated me for quickly moving my company to Windows 2003 64 Bit Server. I made the decision as soon as I heard 64 bit was released to manufacturing. My rep informed me last weekend in a late night strategy session that Jim Allchin informed him that 64 bit Windows would be available at DELL this Monday.
Today I placed an order with DELL to replace all my Windows 2003 servers with Windows 2003 Server 64 Bit systems running Intel's EM64T processors. My DELL rep comended my company for being one of the first to purchase the systems since they were just released today! He informed me that the Window XP 64-bit desktops will be available in June. I told my dell rep that my beeper was at my side at all times and that I must be contacted ASAP the moment the desktop version are available.
I told my boss that under no circumstances could we hold off on this deployment, as Windows 2003 64 Bit Server would be an effective mid game tool to punish our compebreastion until the release of Longhorn. I informed him that while our Linux compebreastors struggle with AMD 64 bit and USB Mbutt storage devices locking up like Fort Knox, our servers will be 64-bitting them right out of the market!
My boss praised me and told me in advance that my performace review would be stellar once again. I told Scott, our MCSE, to cancel any plans for the next few weeks (weekends too) as the deployment was the #1 company priority.
