News Microsoft gets 64bit OS beta happy

From the Reg:

Microsoft gave AMD top billing in a Wednesday statement announcing beta versions of 64bit Windows Server 2003 operating systems.

Right atop Microsoft's brief marketing blurb is news that AMD's 64bit chips will be supported with both Standard and Enterprise editions of Windows Server 2003. The beta software has arrived for MSDN subscribers and "will soon" be available to the rest of the proles.

Microsoft, of course, already has Windows XP in beta for AMD's Athlon 64 with final release due early next year.
