Session GoalsSession Goals

Attendees should leave this sessionwith the following:

A better understanding of the features and benefits of Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and the business opportunity for the x64 Market

Knowledge of where to find resources for porting existing drivers to x64 or building new x64 drivers

Project MissionProject Mission

Foundation: Establish the foundation for pervasive 64-bit computing

Performance: Give customers the ability to do more faster than previously possible

Security: Protect customers from maliciouscode with greater security enhancementsthan ever before

Compatibility: Ensure unprecedented compatibility that eases customer transitionfrom 32-bit environments

Why Do We Need 64-Bits?Why Do We Need 64-Bits?

32-bit addressing limitationsMemory bottlenecks lead to workarounds for surpassing the 2GB per user process limit

Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) and Physical Address Extensions (PAE) are difficult to implement

General scaling problems and limitations

Software demands on hardware continue to growDatabase, computation, realistic gaming, information explosion, etc.

Moore’s law…

…coupled with Murphy’s law (“any available system resources that can be used will be used”)

Differences from 32-Bit XP ProfessionalDifferences from 32-Bit XP Professional

Created from the Windows Server 2003code base

Benefits from security and reliability improvements being delivered with Windows Server 2003 SP1

Windows XP Professional servicing updates will not work on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

No support for DOS, 16-bit applications, POSIX or some legacy networking protocols

x64 greatly benefits from additional registers provided by the x64 processor

No support for 32-bit device drivers

Excellent Support for 32-Bit ApplicationsExcellent Support for 32-Bit Applications

x64 processor architecture allows for native execution of 32-bit code with no emulation overhead requiredPerformance equal to x86 systems

Faster for some 32-bit applications due to additional architecture resources under x64

Supports .NET Framework applications32-bit applications operate seamlessly with afew exceptions:

32-bit processes cannot load 64-bit ones and vice versaNo support for 16-bit code except for some 16-bit installers that Windows transparently swaps with compatible 32-bit versions

All kernel mode drivers must be 64-bit
