64-bit Unix based Web Servers have been around for some time, anyone who has worked in any form on the internet (I have for over 15 years) know that historically Microsoft have been doing a catch-up game.
Together with the fact that hardware has always been a few years ahead of software we are now at a new situation where Microsoft are now ready to lead.
The high performance and scalability of 64-bit processors and servers makes them higly desirable for hosting large Web sites.
ASP.NET 2.0 has integrated support for both 32-bit and 64-bit (Intel/AMD) processors within the development environment
ASP.NET 2.0 supports applications for multiple platforms while using the exact same source base code
This has always been the case because of the JIT compiler which converts the byte code developers produce when they compile, into machine code designed to take full advantage on the CPU type the application runs on.
So role on 128–bit and 256-bit CPU’s because your VB C++ and C# managed code will run on all of them because Microsoft (and others) will produce 128-bit and 256-bit JIT compilers for those platforms.
This capability to turn your 32-bit Web Application into 64-bit Web Applications is supported for native and managed development.
