Hopefully Microsoft will be releasing a trial version soon, they've had x64 Edition up for download for a good year and a half now, it's certainly come a long way since back then when AMD first launched their AMD64 line of CPUs, which Intel have now cloned into their Pentiums. Finally we can get the Windows desktop PC over to 64-bits.

And before the Apple fanboys start going on about them already having a 64-bit OS (which they don't even Tiger - which isn't out yet only has some 64-bit extentions). Microsoft had one long before you - this new one is just to support AMD64 and Intel's clone. So don't even bother trying to start, oh and we can actually manage backwards compatibility something Apple seem to break every 20 minutes.

"Microsoft's new mantra: 'It Just Works' ripped straight from Apple's 'Switch' campaign" according to MacDailyNews.

MacDailyNews Take: Allchin must be an idiot. He certainly sounds like one. He's been "in charge of Windows for almost a decade." 'Nuff said. Oh, one more thing, where'd he get the phrase, "it just works?" Straight from his number one supplier of ideas, of course, Apple Computer: http://www.apple.com/switch/whyswitch/. Stay out of those Apple "Switch" pages, Jim. We know you want to — and who could blame you, being so frustrated by your current operating system — but it'd probably be a tad detrimental to your job security.

Jim Allchin has been using that phrase for years, I remember it being used back in the '95 days, and it was widely used in Windows ME's marketing campaign. Three years before Apple's switch campaign.

Oh and if you want an example of Apple's "it just works" check out this entry.
