so, we have a 128bit fs, but only support for 1tb on 32bit?
i`d call that a bug, isn`t it ? is there a bugid for this? ;)
Well, opinion is welcome.
I'd call it an RFE.
With 64 bit versions of the CPU chips so inexpensive these days,
how much money do you want me to invest in moving modern features
and support to old versions of the OS?
I mean, Microsoft could, on a technical level, backport all new features
from
Vista and Windows Seven to Windows 95. But if they did that, their
current offering
would lag, since all the engineers would be working on the older stuff.
Heck, you can buy a 64 bit CPU motherboard very very cheap. The staff
that we do have
are working on modern features for the 64bit version, rather than
spending all their time
"in the rear-view mirror". Live life forward. Upgrade.
Changing all the data structures in the 32 bit OS to handle super larger
disks, is, well, sorta
like trying to get a Pentium II to handle HD Video. I'm sure, with
enough time and money,
you might find a way. But is it worth it? Or is it cheaper to buy a
new pump?
