You hear good.
At some point in time 32 bit machines will not longer be...
The same for 32 bit software.

Substantiation?
I would like to buy a machine with an 8 bit
processor and some 8 bit software to go with it.
Please point me in the right direction.
All things come to pass.

Right now its only server focused, forth coming applications such as the
next version of Exchange Server "12", Centro Mid Market Server, Longhorn
Small Business Server and Longhorn Server R2 will be exclusively 64 bit.
Microsoft betting this on the pervasiveness of 64 bit hardware next year
beyond.

Bill Gates announced at a major IT conference in Spain earlier this month
that some future versions of Windows server products would only be available
on 64-bit platforms. Specifically:

Windows Server Longhorn R2 (But _not_ the initial Longhorn Server release)
Exchange 12
Windows Small Business Server Longhorn (_initial_ LH release)

Notice that this does not say anything about client releases. The earliest
release on this list is probably Exchange 12, and that won't be out until
2007 at the earliest from what I've heard.

eBay is the place, just bought a BBC Micro, brilliant :-)))

Add 'GoMMC' and you have space for every program ever written for it.

Also, I forgot to mention that the Longhorn Server R2 release is not
expected until 2009, the initial release of Longhorn Server though will be
available in both 32 and 64 bit versions.

Ah yes, still have mine somwhere on the attic. Too bad
the Amiga beat it when it came down to graphics.
Anybody know of a 64-bit BBC B-emulator :)

A BBC Micro emulator is a lot cheaper and takes up less space :)

On the server side, Windows Server codenamed Longhorn may be the last
available for 32-bits. Vista will be available for 32-bits but no
announcement has been made concerning client operating systems after Vista.

Yup. And SBS -- now absolutely NOT supported on x64, will now be ONLY
supported on x64. And that with the initial LH release.

Well, as Colin said, not with the initial release of Longhorn Server, which
is expected 2007, the Longhorn Server "R2" release expected sometime in 2009
will be exclusively 64 bit. Longhorn Small Business Server as you mentioned
will be 64 bit all the way!
