Who could you possibly be talking about

Well I will be moving jobs very soon anyway, with a pay rise of about 50% compared to what I am getting now

Good to hear that after all the talk about you not getting a job some time ago...

That's wrong. The first version of Windows to support the AMD 64-X86 instruction set should be released in the first quarter of 2004, and I would be extremely surprised if it got delayed further than that given betas of the program are appearing now. Its dangerous for Microsoft to wait too much longer given that Linux already supports the 64 bit functions of the AMD 64, and can potentially gain some marketshare at this time.

Please don't associate North-East Lincolnshire with North Lincolnshire. They're nothing alike. Really.

I'm sure Well I am a Yorkshireman and that gives me a carte blanche to take the piss out of Lincolnshire, no matter which part

Besides, how is the centre of S****horpe looking nowadays? Last time I saw it it was still under construction...

I'm paying for the system 100% by myself, so you can shove it.

$2900CDN for a brand new 64-bit gaming rig ain't too shabby. Still got a few grand to spare, and I'm gonna get another grand or so once I finish fixing some bugs, and I get my spending money via my reception job sunday nights.

At a retirement home, in the evening.

Everyone is in bed so I sit at the front desk and do homework on my laptop, the phone rings maybe once or twice a night and that's it.

Pretty cushy.

: Some articles I read spoke of mid 2004 so I added the usual "PR-guys-not-knowing-technical-problems-that-delay-product" and the "Software-gets-released-with-bugs" factor and calculated mid-late 2004.
All the builds the guys from the hardware website got were still Alpha Builds.
But now I heard MS has released a Beta version so maybe early 2004 is more likely (anyway I doubt it). Q1 2004 seems a bit too optimistic.
Because all the hardware manufactures have to provide 64bit drivers. That may take some time as well.

I'd say the delays have already occured, the software was originally set to be released much earlier. First quarter is a conservative estimate, current predictions are for a release in January.
