Spoke with my Rep. about Win2k3 64Bit. 3462

Why?

And what would this stunning blow be?

Yup, sure you are.

Really? Years of experience? Name one "new" OS from microsoft which was better than the previous one?

DOS 2.0? Nope, 2.01 fixed all the bugs. DOS 3.0? Nope, 3.1 fixed the bugs DOS 3.2? Nope, wait until 3.3, then 3.33 Windows 1.0? Nope, 1.03 was as far as that puppy went. Windows 2.0? Nope, again, 2.03, then 2.1 Windows 3.0? Nope, 3.1, then 3.11 Windows 4.0 (95) ? Nope, Windows 4.1 (Windows 95c)

And on and on. You are wrong.

Your analogy is flawed. For double the actual performance, you need to double your memory as well. An "int" is now 8 bytes instead of 4. Besides, if you are talking about a database, you still have the old I-O bus limitations that are not affected in anyway.

Sorry, I think I spit choked here. Excel data OLAP cube, "fast?" Let me tell you, a bad algorithm or approach on a super fast computer may be faster then when implemented on a slower one, but a proper algorithm or approach can be orders of magnitude faster regardless of processor. So, with 64 bit CPU, your excel OLAP application may look twice as fast, but I butture you a good coder *not* using excel will be 10 times faster.

LOL, the *fastest* rapid deployment environment is PHP.

SQL Server have sequences yet?

Linux has been running in 64 bits for quite a while on the same systems that Microsoft is just starting to support.

LOL, that's funny. Really funny.

Mbutt storage bugs? You mean a problem with a buggy USB driver that's already fixed?

What I find funny is you insistence that you think a faster computer will somehow hurt your compebreastion. It is just silly. Your compebreastion will work with its computers as long as they perform well enough. Then they will upgrade as needed. You, on the other hand will expend real capital to make an unwise upgrade to an unproven system.

While you are ironing out the kinks, your customers will be peeed off because the computers aren't working, and go to your compebreastor. There are some great examples of the folly you proclaim to be a strategy.
