Windows XP 64 bit edition absolutely FREE! (straight from Microsoft!)

[RJ5500]

This is no joke and no piracy. It's a one year (360 day) trial.

I ran across

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/downloads/upgrade.asp

Basically, this only will run on a 64 bit processor from AMD like the Opteron or Athalon.

(Intel has no 64 bit processor yet).

All you need is an email address and to give Microsoft your information on the order page.


Heck, I don't even have a 64 bit processor yet, but I'll still get this copy of Windows XP 64 bit extended edition. I may buy a Athalon 64 or Opteron 64 sometime later in the year :cross

[CompuGeek]

Yeah, hurry up and download the beta version because I'm sure the gold version won't be on P2P the day it comes out.

</sarcasm>

[RJ5500]

Yeah, it probably everywhere already.

At least Microsoft's servers are faster than P2P (and more reliable).

I would download it and burn it to a CD and save it until I get or ever have a 64-bit processor...

BLAH...

(Intel has no 64 bit processor yet).

Ever heard of the Intel Itanium (http://www.intel.com/products/server/processors/server/itanium2/index.htm)?

Good idea. But does the trial start when the d/l is complete? Or does it start when it's installed?

That's exactly what I was thinking.

And i know where to get a program to remove the 180/360 day trial limit!

Well, intel may have the Itanium, but it won't work with this Windows XP.

From the Microsoft website
