64 Bit: The Final Frontier – Slides From my Presentation at PubForum

64-Bit Windows (X64)
Published Jun 10, 2010 Updated Oct 26, 2010

Only a few days ago I attended PubForum in Frankfurt - a weekend well spent! I had an altogether good time and very much enjoyed meeting so many great people. I also presented on the topic of migrating to 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 and XenApp 6, a task not to be taken lightly. For anyone interested, here is the slide deck I used.

.NET Applications on Windows x64 - Easy? Yes and No

When migrating to 64-bit Windows, traditional “unmanaged” applications can pose challenges. That is because unmanaged binaries contain hardware-dependent CPU instructions - and the view on the hardware differs between 32- and 64-bit mode. But .NET? It should be unaffected of a system’s bitness since “managed” binaries contain instructions in a so-called intermediate language that is executed in a virtual machine at run-time and only then translated to machine language. But is it really? This article is about .NET programs that are dependent on OS bitness.

Filebrowser is being archived. As the author writes, the codebase dates back to when he was but 15 years old. Having created such a popular file management tool is a more than impressive achievement for anyone, let alone a teenager.
