No, I'm right. I'm always right.

Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 is available from computer manufacturers with the purchase of a new Intel Itanium Processor Family workstation. It is also available to Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Universal, Enterprise, Professional, and Operating Systems subscribers via MSDN Subscriber Downloads. Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 is only available in an English language version.

ITANIUM. Which is now basically a dead specification. Show me a link to a working, available, native AMD64 Windows. One that's available to the public.

I don't know if you can call that "working".

That or Microsoft is being mighty inconsistent, eh?

if we depend on Valve to convert it then its hopeless.

I was just saying it is available but it's a public Preview, it will be available in Winter 2005, I would rather use the 64-bit versions of Linux anyways
