I fear a 64-bit executable under 32-bit OS, will cause some problems, if it
starts at all due to some exe header. An invalid opcodes exceptions for new and
not x32-compatible instructions with 64-bit or new register (R08-R15,
XMM8-XMM15) prefix. Not to mention sizeof pointer. Cross-compiling seems to be
possible, as the amd-paper suggest.

Yes. I guess same is true for new msc-compiler and dev tools, or?
Does anybody has experience with those betas,
where to register, download url etc. and how to install it as
multiboot OS with a current xp32?

Thanks,
Gerd
