>From the phrasing (and timing), I would presume that these sessions are centered around the imminent general release to OpenVMS IA64 8.4 1H1 for Poulson. Remember, Field Test is not a general release.

I hate to dash JF's hopes, but while Duane is likely to mention x64, the team just got 8.4 1H1 built and working on Poulson. There is quite a bit of work for them to accomplish before they can put a date out for x64 support.

The above is my personal opinion. While it is informed by knowledge of what must be accomplished, I do not have any inside information on this subject.
