Haven't read the article, because the author seems to have run out of bandwidth, but I can tell you that Microsoft does indeed support PAE: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/server/PAE/PAE...

Parent was talking as if Microsoft didn't support[1] it at all, which is clearly not the case.

ETA footnote:

1: Having finally managed to gain access to the article, I can see I was using the word "support" as in "technical capability", rather than "will stand behind it and help you when it breaks".
