Intel times 64 bit CPUs to arrive with WinXP Pro X64

“ IF YOU ASK either Intel or AMD when Microsoft will launch WinXP Pro X64, executives from both firms will look at you for a little while, tilt their eyeballs slightly upwards, and then look at you straight in the eye and intone the mantram: “You will have to ask Microsoft about the release of its products”.

Does this mean that Intel and AMD don’t know when the date is? We find this hard to believe. The last we heard, the very long awaited OS that will support iAMD64 was scheduled to appear at the end of the first quarter.”
