CTOnews.com, May 20 / PRNewswire-FirstCall-Asianet /-- Neozeed, a software archaeologist in the VirtualFun community, recently discovered a 64-bit compiler, Dec Alpha C, and discovered the first test version of a 64-bit Windows 2000 system by tracking Microsoft Windows NT test versions such as AXP64 / ALPHA64 migration.

This version of Platform SDK allows users to test and compile Win64 code and supports 64-bit code types as well as pre-beta IA64 and ALPHA64 compilers.

Neozeed regrets that the compiler cannot be run at this time, so the 64-bit Windows 2000 system cannot be tested.

Antoni Sawicki, known as Tenox, then provided more information. The Win64 project for AXP64 and IA64 was codenamed Sundown, but Microsoft never released a 64-bit version of Alpha AXP Windows.
