Since no one else has responded, here's some stuff from MS on the topic of Win64: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/guide/platform/strategic/64bit.asp This document talks only of the Itanium (IA64) processor, and doesn't mention the Alpha at all. I know the NT shipping on Alpha machines is Win32, though the actual application code can be 64-bit (think "32-bit Solaris on an Ultra"); just the system APIs are 32 bits. The last link on the page links to some more detailed technical information on moving application code to Win64. -Fred -- Fred L.
