Gota be 64

What if there had been a Windows ’95 16bit Version, do you think that might have slowed the conversion to 32bit computing back in the Twentieth Century?

64bit computing has arrived, we’ve got the software and many of us have had the chips, so when will the rest of you get on the road for 64?

A Channel9 thread has propagated all around our network community, everybody and his brother (no Mother nominations yet and I don’t see any woman nominating woman yet) wants to join Team 99. No one has so much as mentioned 64bit Longhorn.

Longhorn is going to be a 64bit OS, but there will also be a 32bit Version. 32bits, training wheels on the road to 64.

Interop

I’m here at Interop, Networking in the desert…didn’t somebody say that the network was the computer?

I’m off to a good start, enrolled in a two day Network Architecture and Design course with James D. McCabe from NASA. James really knows networks; design is all about planning and planning comes from understanding the requirements of the system.

Had a great meeting with Peter Sevcik, one of the first of this massive networking conference. Peter has long been a consultant in the networking field and he has come up with a metric to gage network performance. It’s called APDEX, Application Performance Index and there is already an alliance of 15 companies supporting this standard.

If you would like to join the APDEX community in any capacity contact them about your interest.
