March 18, 2005 - Windows XP 64-Bit Edition is finally nearing release.
Unconfirmed rumors are that Microsoft may RTM it as early as March 28, 2004.

As mentioned in an earlier posting
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcausa/message/107), PCAUSA has been planning
for Windows XP x64 Edition for almost a year. Rawether V5.5.17.00 (May 17,
2004) introduced preliminary AMD64 support for the "Windows XP 64-Bit
Edition for 64-Bit Extended Systems Customer Preview Program" release using
the AMD Build Environment of the Windows Server 2003 DDK.

In anticipation of the actual release of Windows XP x64 Edition PCAUSA has
put together a pre-release of Rawether for Windows x64. Rawether V5.5.18.03
pre-release components are built using the latest Microsoft x64 DDK that is
available (Build 3790.1433).

If you are a current PCAUSA Rawether customer with an interest in supporting
Windows XP x64 Edition, please contact me for information about testing this
new Rawether release.

PCAUSA is planning to release Rawether for Windows V5.5.18.03 with AMD x64
support shortly after Microsoft goes RTM on Windows XP 64-Bit Edition.
