The 64-bit versions of Windows NT were originally intended to run on Itanium and DEC Alpha; the latter was used internally at Microsoft during early development of 64-bit Windows. [69] [70] This continued for some time after Microsoft publicly announced that it was cancelling plans to ship 64-bit Windows for Alpha. [71]
Windows 1.0, the first independent version of Microsoft Windows, released on November 20, 1985, achieved little popularity. The project was briefly codenamed "Interface Manager" before the windowing system was implemented—contrary to popular belief that it was the original name for Windows and Rowland Hanson, the head of marketing at Microsoft, convinced the company that the name Windows ...
AMD64 (also variously referred to by AMD in their literature and documentation as “AMD 64-bit Technology” and “AMD x86-64 Architecture”) was created as an alternative to the radically different IA-64 architecture designed by Intel and Hewlett-Packard, which was backward-incompatible with IA-32, the 32-bit version of the x86 architecture.
New features noted by reviewers included a Download Manager, pop-up blocker, add-on manager and a tool to clear browsing history.

The 64-bit OpenVMS Alpha releases support a maximum virtual address space size of 8TiB (a 43-bit address space), which is the maximum supported by the Alpha 21064 and Alpha 21164. [61] One of the more noteworthy Alpha-only features of OpenVMS was OpenVMS Galaxy, which allowed the partitioning of a single SMP server to run multiple instances of ...
