http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Windows_XP&oldid=12279654 I noticed your "Corrections: XP 64bit is for Itanium (not Itanium 2), there are two versions (one for AMD64, one for IA64."

Could you elaborate? I did not know there were 2 versions of XP 64bit. I ordered the Press Release of XP64bit Beta2 and It did not offer or ask for which 64bit architecture. XP 64bit was made for Itanium? I know the Intel EM64T architecture is based off the AMD64 architecture, couldn't the article be resorted to just those two architectures.

  • When Windows XP was released on October 25th, 2001, it was available for two architectures: x86-compatible processors, and Intel Itanium processors implementing the IA64 instruction set. More recently, a new version of Windows XP was released for processors implementing the AMD64 instruction set. I consider these completely seperate versions, since they were released years apart, and software made for one is completely incompatible with the other. Alereon 03:36, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
    • *Windows XP '''[[Windows XP x64 Edition|Professional x64 Edition]]''' (released on [[March 30]], [[2005]]) for the [[AMD64]] instruction set on processors such as the [[AMD]] [[Athlon 64]], AMD [[Opteron]], and Intel [[EMT64T]]-compatible processors.The discrepancy that caused my edit has been clarified. I didn't know there was a 64 and a x64 editions separately, which is HUGE difference. Seems the article now contains correct information about both 64bit versions currently. I failed to understand your response without clarification by the article because both are named so similar. Thanks --x1987x 00:26, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WoW Terminology

Thanks for the revert! I wish people would read the notice at the top and not add general MMO terms! --Nayl 12:56, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
