Systems Overview
Windows Server 2003 for 64-Bit Extended
Systems Overview
01/08/2004 07:38 PMWindows Server 2003 for 64-Bit Extended Systems provides high
performance for both 32-bit and 64-bit applications on the same
system. The underlying architecture is based on 64-bit extensions to
the industry-standard x86 instruction set, allowing today's 32-bit
applications to run natively on 64-bit extended processors such as AMD
Opteron. At the same time, new 64-bit applications are executed in
64-bit mode, which processes more data per clock cycle, allows greater
access to memory, and speeds numeric calculations. The end result is a
platform that leverages the existing wealth of 32-bit applications
while also providing a smooth migration path to 64-bit computing.
Windows Server 2003 for 64-Bit Extended Systems is currently under
development, with delivery scheduled for the second half of 2004.
Pre-release versions of the operating system are available for
evaluation from this Web site.

the script commands can trigger events in an embedded player program,
or they can open your browser and then navigate to a Web page. This

Symantec Facing Problems With Product

Symantec Facing Problems With Product
Activation
10/30/2003 11:46 PMAt least Intuit realized what a waste of time and money it was to put
product activation technology into their software. Once they realized
the pointlessness of it, they issued a
very
public apology on the matter. Unfortunately, other companies
aren't quite so enlightened. Symantec is having
all sorts of trouble with their product
activation technology, that is preventing many legitimate users
from using the software they paid good money for. Symantec is now
saying that they're working on it, but can't figure out what the
problem is, and can't suggest a date when they'll offer a fix. Here's
a simple solution: follow Intuit's lead and ditch the activation
technology altogether. The simple fact is that the software is still
getting pirated. You see offers for it all the time - and it only
takes a hacker a little while to figure it out. So, the only people
this is really impacting are the
legitimate users of your
product - and you're making their lives worse. Most of these people
are going to go to a competitor, and will be quite vocal about why
they would never purchase anything else from Symantec. Thus, it does
nothing to solve the problem, angers your customers, and drives people
to competitors. How does this make sense?

without having to upgrade applications or train users.
