Spoke with my Rep. about Win2k3 64Bit. 3461

Well we want to use the system before any of our compebreastors have a chance.

To load up Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit on Intel's EM64T processors before anyone else would give us a stunning blow against our compebreastors. This means a quick deployment which is completely realistic since I have read MS's white papers on the technology and am fully up to speed on the advanced set of features.

MS's operating systems, from my years of professional experience, are always better than the previous (with the sole exception of Win ME).

If this were a battlefield, it would be like getting tanks that could have an effective firing range of twice the advesary. This means that before our compebreastion sees us, they will be up in smoke!

As you know, the 64 bit address fields and large memory will enable us to analyze larger quanbreasties of Excel data from our OLAP cube coming from our MS SQL SERVER at a rate not comparable to our Linux compebreastors.

Our ablity to rapidly deploy application written in the .NET framework with web services blows out anything that Linux could do. PostgreSQL has a small subset of features that MS SQL SERVER has. Replication is a joke in PGSQL still!

Mips.

HAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAH. You must be JOKING! Those aren't good 64 bit systems. Hell, the SPARC chip still to this day doesn't do POPC!

They spent the time to do it right. Look at the joke which is the SPARC chip (no POPC to this day) or AMD x8664 and Linux Mbutt storage bugs.

While your Servers are locked up due to linux bugs or slow do to not having POPC, our servers will eat your lunch.
