Agreed. However that article talks about release in 2004 [beta in Q1, and a full release "later"]. It's fine for the foundation to refrain from announcing vaporware. But I still maintain that this article's author needs to be made aware of his mistake in enumerating all the AMD64 vaporware :) Michael W.
