Boy they make it hard to ask a question don't they? I
understand this is probably the wrong place to ask this,
but perhaps you folks can point me in the right direction.

When will the 64 bit version of XP ( for the Athlon, not
the IA64 ) be out? How do I go about signing up for Beta
testing?

Thanks

Why do you think it is so hard to ask a question? Really, it is quite
simple. Just go to a pertinant newsgroup in the server you use, and post
your question.

However, I see that you are using a web interface (CDO) as your newsgroup
newsreader. You will find it ever so much easier to navigate and participate
in newsgroups if you would use a good newsreader such as Outlook Express.

As for your first question, read the following:
