Question on 64-Bit

ProxisTech — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 18:16:22 GMT

Forgive me if thsi is a repetitive or non-intelligent question.

I am a consultant that works mainly with smaller companies (10 or 15 users). I am new to the 64-Bit world. With SBS2008 being 64-Bit only, I am concerned that my customers are going to be left out in the cold. Many of them run 32-Bit applications on their servers along side of the OS. POP3 retrivers, Peachtree, Quickbooks (via terminal services for remote), etc., and other....I think I made the point.....

My understanding, and, someone please correct me if I am wrong (and I hope I am), is that you CANNOT run 32-Bit applications along side 64. So essentially NO 32-Bit applications will run on aSBS2008 server?

Is this correct?

If so, I feel sorry for small businesses that now have to upgrade, IF an upgrade is even available, to new software. I am kind of suprised that MS would take this turn. At the same time i do acknowledge the power that 64-Bit will bring. I just need tobe sure I am correct about aht I am saying when I break this news to all my clients.

Thanks to all of you who answer in advance.

Mike
