bueno, la misma noticia pero en ingles:

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=21761

ojo con -> "MICROSOFT said that the famous upcoming Star Wars
Episode III, Revenge of the sith was rendered on beta version
in Windows 64 bit."

pero suena extraño que en ILM usen una version beta para hacer
una pelicula... ;)

ahora si revisas:

hay un comentario un poco mas cuerdo:

"not too sure if that's the final rendering...from the article
it looks like before & after touchups and conceptual stuff. 

iirc, Industrial Light & Magic do the heavy lifting for the actual
scenes, can't see George outsourcing that to a third party like JAK. 

ILM runs a huge Linux renderfarm...if ILM has converted over,
that would be definitely be a big win for MS. interesting...but
unlikely at presnet. windows XP doesn't have the huge cluster
HPC features that you'd need to render the entire movie. although
microsoft is entering that area..."
