Exchange 2007: 32-bit vs. 64-bit
In reading through comments regarding Exchange 2007's lack of 32-bit support and confusion around why Microsoft decided to provide a 32-bit "test" version of Exchange 2007, I thought I'd offer some facts about this version and some possible reasons that Microsoft went 64-bit-only with Exchange 2007.

18.5.2007Confirmed: Office 2010 will be 32-bit and 64-bit
Recently Neowin reported that Office 14 (or Office 2010, you choose) will most likely be shipping in both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. Well, as Ars
Technica is reporting, this is fully confirmed by Microsoft themselves. According to Ars Technica, an email exchange between them and a Microsoft
spokesperson revealed that, "Yes, Office will have two separate 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Office 2010 will be the first to do this." This means
that from now on, those running 64-bit versions of Windows will not longer have to emulate a 32-bit environment to have a working Office; it'll be
fully compatible, with all the benefits 64-bit brings.

15.04.2009Confirmed: Office 2010 will come in 32-bit, 64-bit flavors

ZDNet and
Within Windows to see how the conclusion was

16-bit flavors. In an e-mail exchange with Ars today, a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that Office 2010 will be available in both flavors: "Yes,
Office will have two separate 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Office 2010 will be the first to do this."

path towards an x64 computing future. However, people have been wondering if these versions will come separately, or if Microsoft will choose to
include them in the same package. Ars Technica have unearthed some valuable details which hint that the latter could indeed be the case; Microsoft
will most likely include both versions on the same DVD. Ars Technica posted an error message that read the following: "If you want to install 64-bit

15.04.2009Exchange 2007: 32-bit vs. 64-bit
In reading through comments regarding Exchange 2007's lack of 32-bit support and confusion around why Microsoft decided to provide a 32-bit "test"
version of Exchange 2007, I thought I'd offer some facts about this version and some possible reasons that Microsoft went 64-bit-only with Exchange
2007.
First, as advertised, the 32-bit version is for testing only. Many people like to test server software in a virtual
environment before making the production plunge. Take note that Virtual Server 2005 R2 does not support 64-bit guests virtual machines. Even VMware
ESX 3.0 only had experimental support for 64-bit guest operating systems. ESX 3.0.1 now includes full support for 64-bit guests, but this is a recent
release. Sure, desktop virtualization packages have supported 64-bit guest OSs for a while now, but the enterprise-variety virtualization offerings
are just catching up to this.
In short, had Microsoft opted to skip a 32-bit testing version, they would have locked out anyone
who wanted to test the product on older servers -- those that do not support 64-bit. I don't think that releasing a 32-bit unsupported test version
was irresponsible and it shouldn't be confusing. It's for testing, runs on just about any hardware you have laying around and is easily available.

18.09.2007Office 14 to ship in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors
Beta releases have become a great way to discover potentialy unannounced products by snooping around in the files that accompany the beta. Ed Bott
did said snooping and is now claiming that Office 14 will ship in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. Located within the Migwiz.xml file shows the code
extensions that prove that a 64-bit version does exist. This is great news for users that can take advantage of the 64-bit flavor and should come
as welcomed news that Microsoft is expanding support for 64-bit. One day soon we will hopefully be able to drop 32-bit forever.

20.05.2009Office 2010 to be Released in first half of 2010
MSNBC has officially confirmed that the next version of office (previously known as "Office 14") will be named "Office 2010". Its' expected to
RTM within the first half of 2010, but no specific dates are known yet.
Supporting some rumors we heard
long ago, MSNBC says
that the new versions of each product within the Office suite will include slimmed-down versions that can be used to edit documents easily within a
browser. A free, ad-supported version is still supposedly in the works as well.
Microsoft plans to make the public beta readily available
in Q3 of this year, allowing "hundreds of thousands of people" to test it. No word on a second beta at this point, but they are expected to release
more details tomorrow.
The updated version of Exchange server gets to skip the waiting time; it will be available for purchase in the
second half of 2009.
What we know for now is:
- It will be named "Office 2010"
- It will be available in both 32-bit
and 64-bit
- A slimmed down, browser-run version, as well as a free ad-supported version are in the works.
- A public beta
will
be widely available
- It will not be released in conjunction with Windows 7, but later in the year.

17.08.2007Windows Server 2008 will be Microsoft's last 32-Bit OS
During a speech this
morning, Bill Laing, general
manager of the Windows Server
division, reiterated that,
after 2008, Microsoft would
only produce 64-bit operating
systems. Windows Server 2008
will be Microsoft's last
32-bit OS.
Laing spoke during the
second day of Microsoft's
Windows Hardware Engineering
Conference.
The
future has been an ongoing
theme among the WinHEC
keynotes. In talking about the
future, Microsoft is telling
its customers and hardware,
software and channel partners
where it will take the
technology in the 2009-2010
release cycle—and somewhat
in the meantime.
The
move to 64-bit has been much
shakier than from 16-bit to
32-bit. The transition is
slowest on the desktop, where
driver and application support
is an impediment. On the
server, Microsoft offers mixed
32-bit and 64-bit products,
with mixed acceptance. But
Laing made clear that many new
Microsoft server products
would only be 64-bit...
