Microsoft has announced it is releasing a beta version of Windows XP for AMD’s new 64-bit processor. That’s both good news and bad news for AMD. The good news is that Microsoft is showing significant support for the new processor by making a version of XP for it. The bad news is that Microsoft won’t have a final production version of the operating system this year. “The actual finished product will be available in the first quarter of 2004,” Windows XP project manager Tracy Overby told TechNewsWorld.
