Yesterday, Bill Laing, general manager of Microsoft’s Windows Server Division, was quoted as saying in his WinHEC 2007 presentation that Windows Server 2008 would be the last 32-bit Windows operating system Microsoft would produce for either clients or servers. Today, Alex Heaton clarified the matter at the Windows Vista Team Blog:
While Windows Vista includes both 32-bit and 64-bit and there is a growing community of drivers for 64-bit Windows Vista we have not decided when Windows Client will follow Windows Server and become 64-bit only.
There’s a similar denial at the Windows Server Division Weblog as well
At the start of the month, the buzz was that Internet advertising company 24/7 Real Media was in play with Microsoft and WPP Group (an advertising conglomerate) competing for the acquisition. Today comes word that WPP won the deal for $649 million. There may not be any kiss and tell revelations about Microsoft wooing 24/7 Real Media, but regardless, the consolidation in Internet advertising is proceeding rapidly and Microsoft always seems to get left standing at the altar.
