The download page states
The Windows Developer Preview is a pre-beta version of Windows 8 for developers.
But of course this is also interesting to designers and regular users: getting a hands-on impression of what Metro will bring to Windows 8.

in the Delphi 64 world, there is no official support for the Extended data type for various reasons.
If you really need it, then you can use the TExtendedX87 unit by Philipp M. Schlüter as mentioned in this Embarcadero forum thread.

There are multiple DLLs you can use as MQ Client.
Most interfaces directly or indirectly use MQM.DLL, which is the interface to the local running WebSphere MQ Manager.
But sometimes your installation doesn’t contain a local WebSphere MQ Manager, and you need to connect remotely as a client.
You need one of these client DLLs, depending if you are using extended architecgture (XA) or not:
Note that depending on x86 machines, the DLLs can be called mqic32.dll and mqicxa32.dll as well.
