Microsoft Calls AMD X86-64 Operating System Anvil

Published by

Just spotted this @ The Inquirer.net:

We have absolute confirmation that there is an X86-64 version of Windows for the Hammer platform and rather suitably Microsoft has codenamed it Anvil. The source added that Microsoft is describing Anvil as bringing 64-bit computing to the masses, a phrase that will make Intel cross when it reads this article.

Microsoft is claiming that Anvil will still execute 32-bit apps with "excellent performance and compatibility".
