Office Communication Servers moves to 64-bit only
The Office Communication Server team announced Friday that OCS 2007 R2 will support 64-bit operating systems only.
As a part of the broad initiative across Microsoft to support 64 bit versions across many of its product lines, the next release of OCS will support 64-bit operating systems only. This decision will help meet customer demand and is a natural progression of the product that aligns with the same approach taken by the Exchange team (with Exchange 2007) and the SharePoint team (with SharePoint 2007) to support 64 bit operating systems only.
I'm not particularly surprised. One of the first things you learn when you start dealing with telephony is just how hungry recognition applications are for system resources. We’re simply unable to realize the full potential of speech recognition in a 32-bit environment.
