Actually, a 386 was a 286 with paging at first. :)  A Xeon is certainly an 
ia32 processor (esp. when compared to ia64), and just as paging was an 
extension to the protected mode already present in the 286, one can think of 
long mode as an extension of 386 protected mode with PAE.  Take a chill pill, 
his e-mail didn't even contain the word "AMD" and you still flew off the 
handle.
