Public release, not really much use since there is not currently any 64 bit software/game, or even drivers for most everything you would need. But there it is.

I find it funny that they treat this as something new, there has been a 64 Bit version of XP for quite awhile but it was written for Itanium owners...

even in server aps, 64 bit doesn't always mean faster.
