Hi James,
We will be publishing a blog entry from Gil Numeroff early next week on things to do to get your collection ready to run on Server 8.5.   If you are already running on V8, there is not much to do and this ought to be straightforward.   For folks with older collections, they need to get to V8 and some legacy issues might show up.

Yes, this updates the server to 64bit.   That allows you to run Server on a modern mac machine with no restrictions (M chip, latest OS).  At the moment, you still access the collection via an older machine on which the Helix Client is running.    In larger installations, the speed improvements from the server running on a modern machine alone are worth it.  When the other half of the Hybrid Server ships, you will then be able to access your helix collection with a browser.  

This announcement may not help you at the moment but, it's big, and necessary, step forward for the technology and a vital piece that needs to be in place to get to the full Hybrid Server and browser access.   Dana
