Intel to ship Montecity - yawn
From http://morewally.com/cs/blogs/wallym/archive/2006/07/08/158.aspx
This week, Intel is set to ship Montecito. Montecito is the latest version of the Itanium family of processors from Intel. There have been three major problems with the Itanium family of processors.
- Poor support from software companies. Its a chicken and the egg problem. The software companies don't want to spend a lot of money on supporting it until the there is sufficient hardware in the marketplace. There won't be a significant uptake of hardware without software to run on it.
- Intel didn't get the white box crowd involved. Without white box support, the processor won't see widespread usage.
- The Itanium doesn't provide very good emulation of the x86 family of processors.
- A fourth issue, somewhat related to the previous issues, is that
the cost of an Itanium system is currently too much for the commodity
marketplace.

64 bits in .NET 2.0
I put my Web Spider code onto my x64 system. Everything is managed code. I was able to just start running the code. The lesson seems to be that if you right 100% managed code, your code will run, your code has a pretty good change of running in 32 bits or 64 bits. I always hate to say something will run a 100% of the time, but my guess is that it has a good chance of running. Perhaps someone from MS can post a comment about the pitfalls of 32 vs. 64 bits in .NET 2.0.

Daemon Tools 4.0 is out
Sweet. I just read this over at Neowin.net. Daemon Tools 4.0 has been released. I use this tool all the time to mount the images I get from MSDN. http://www.daemon-tools.cc/ It still doesn't support x64, but that seems to be coming.

Atlas on x64 IE
FYI, I have gotten the Atlas code for the RC/RTM running on my x64 system with Win64 for x64 under IE. I checked and the Help->About shows that it is running 64bit version of IE.

Windows for x64 is officially released
Excellent. Windows for x64 is officially released. MSDN subscribers have had access to it for a while, but it is nice to see an official release. It will be really exciting when .NET 2.0, with its 64 bit support, is released later this year.
