I wrote an editorial on the 64-bit decision by Exchange to not release

their next version in 32 bit. Only 64. Some friends and I had a

discussion at lunch today, with most of them thinking this was more a

marketing decision than a technical one, but I'm not sure.

I did get an interesting email from someone in the 64-bit hardware

business that mentioned they might be able to work out a deal for

hardware with SQLServerCentral.com. That would be interesting from the

standpoint of reporting on the product. There was also a potential

offer to do some 32 v 64 testing. I'm not sure I have anything from SSC

to test, but perhaps someone out there is interested and wants to get

some testing time in exchange for allowing us to report on it?
