Who is the 64th era? Linux is slightly dominated:

Although COMPAQ has launched an Alpha64-bit chip, Sun has also admitted to the Ultrasparc 64-bit processor product, but people still see the days of the true beginning of the 64 era in the day of the 64th era. The ITANIUM chip launched on the 29th will bring huge impact on the enterprise-class server market, while other related manufacturers will race their brains to consider how to make their own opportunities to develop. In the operating system, the development of two operating systems of Linux and Windows is eye-catching. Compared with both, Linux leads to Windows on 64 new concepts. On the same day ITANIUM released, Red Hat introduced a 64-bit operating system facing this chip. Among them, the latest 2.4 kernel will be used, and the maximum support for 8 ITANIUM chips can be used to easily develop 64-bit applications. At the same time, SUSE, Europe, also announced that it will officially launch an Operating System-SUSE Linux 7.2 for Itanium in mid-June. SUSE's products will focus on server applications, providing more secure mechanisms, making it convenient for developers to develop 64-bit applications. Microsoft is slight behind. Previously Microsoft has launched a 64-bit Windows Advanced Server Limited Edition (Windows Advanced Server Limited Edition) and Windows XP 64-bit Edition. But these versions belong to test products. Microsoft claims that customers who use the above two products will be upgraded to the official version for free, but now Microsoft can't clearly say when I can launch a formal version, which greatly hits the enthusiasm of customers. If there is not enough operating system and application software, advanced Itanium chips are just a waste. Therefore, the senior people in Intel have repeatedly expressed "good feelings" on the Linux operating system multiple times. This result is a bit a bit to make Microsoft feel uneasy.
