In my endless search for tiny details hidden behind the scenes at Microsoft via linkedin, I came across a Microsoft Senior Research & Development employee: Mr. Morgan. I guess Microsoft employees need some training about exposing company secrets! He posted a few updates in the last 3 days to his linkedin profile that I find extremely interesting:
“Robert Morgan is working to get IA-128 working backwards with full binary compatibility on the existing IA-64 instructions in the hardware simulation to work for Windows 8 and definitely Windows 9.”
“Robert Morgan is using Hestia (custom software package) for experimenting with the processor for scientific analysis and 3D graphics. Error: Memory Latency? Always gotta be a challenge barrier, it’s gotta be a bug in Hestia. right?!”
“Robert Morgan is frustrated with process standards and regulations! Delays Delays!”
I added Mr. Morgan to my LinkedIn friends list, but he has not responded to any messages I sent to him. WOW what a find: WINDOWS 8 128 BIT! That’s Insane!!!! Didn’t we just get x64 less than 5 years ago? But, let’s face it we are in a recession; the next big products won’t be released until companies are ready to take a risk, but based on this they are far ahead of where we are today in the lab. Stay Tuned, I’ll try to find more, but I don’t think I can top this, Windows 8 x128 is a big deal
