The 64 bit kernel was developed after the XP 5.1 kernel. The resulting
64 bit-clean 5.2 kernel was then used for XP 64, 2K3 32 and 64 bit. The
numbering makes a lot of sense, given the history. And so, obviously,
XP 64 shares the new behaviour in some respect(*) with 2K3.

(*) The SYSTEM user restriction when starting a service is just one
difference. There are more. For instance, the new SO_REUSEADDR
socket binding behaviour, or the fact that \Device\PhysicalMemory is
not accessible from user space anymore.
