Here in sunny Monaco, where space is so tight, if they really want to whack up a new building they have to stick it on the roof of one already here, AMD has been wooing system builders with a demo of a two-way Sledgehammer running a 64-bit windows .net OS.
Usually staid box shifters were spotted licking their lips at the sight of a pair of Opterons wired up to a single way Clawhammer in what we believe is the first public demo of a functioning 64-bit Windows.Net system. Here's what we think is the part number, for those interested in such things: 3620RAB01-N02033-2000
AMD claims software vendors are falling over themselves to develop 64-bit apps and OSes to run on the platform. Although he refused to name names AMD's manager of the server and workstations group in the US, Mark Tellez, told THE INQ that "practically all" the main software makers had asked for Opteron systems to try out their 64-bit software on.
AMD's Euro marketing chief Robert Stead told an audience here that the companies MP systems were already a success.

Bob Kruger, senior vice president, product development and chief technology officer for Citrix, described today's agreement as a logical next step in Citrix's relationship with Microsoft. In 1997, Microsoft and Citrix entered into an agreement that resulted in Citrix developing technology for Microsoft that is now part of the Windows server operating systems.
"As with the May 1997 agreement, this agreement has a three-year duration," Kruger said in a conference call today. Unlike 1997 arrangement, he said, this agreement doesn't include provisions for work for hire or any other financial remuneration. "The agreement is strictly for access to source code and interfaces to enable Citrix to develop enterprise class enhancements to Terminal Server features resident in the Windows operating system."
Citrix was tight-lipped regarding specifics of the agreement and declined to elaborate on the timing of when Citrix receives source code updates. "It's confidential — we have what we need when we need it to be punctual," said Citrix CEO Mark Templeton.
Citrix offers two families of products designed to enable virtual access to information: MetaFrame Application Server software and NFuse Access Portal software, including NFuse Elite, NFuse Classic and Enterprise Services for NFuse.
