I need to cite Eric Fleischman’s WebLog for identifying this point. I normally don’t leech other people’s weblogs for my information being that I get enough good stuff on my own but this one is just too good to not re-post:

"Today we put out a page (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/upgrade) which talks about upgrading to the x64 Windows. Here’s the best part:
The Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Technology Advancement Program enables customers who have purchased Windows XP Professional (32-bit) to exchange it for Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. You will need to have an x64 processor (the AMD Athlon 64, AMD Opteron, Intel Pentium 4 with EM64T, or Intel Xeon with EM64T) to run the new software.
Woo hoo! Go get your x64 Windows ASAP if you’ve got the hardware. 🙂
Note the date! It says you need to do this by July 31, 2005. So get ordering!"
