actually their not, theirs only a handfull of pcs using 64 bit processors (i.e the amd opetron or in an unrelated way the mac G4\'s) and the moajority of them are used as web servers (atleast thats what i\'ve been reading) so unless 64-bit procs become mainstream MS are not really loosing anything, and neither are we (the consumers).

Supposedly the Opteron runs 32 bit programs faster than any 32 bit processor or the Itanium (Intel\'s new 64bit chip).

Ok I see not supported and not included, there\'s a big difference between both.  DVD playing isn\'t included in 32-bit XP but you can get a software player to do it for you.

The next consumer OS is Longhorn btw, 32-bit so stop yer nagging and accept the fact you WILL be using a Microsoft product, no matter how trendy it is to moan & complain how slow, stupid, and unreliable MS products are.

Yeah, who cares about 64-bit...nobody really needs one. And those web servers will run just fine on 32-bit CPU\'s when they have tons of RAM and HDD installed.

What 64-bit likely to do for you is:
(1) Create problems due to do instablity becoz it\'s still new.

(2) Software incompatibility.

(3) Hardware incompatibility.

(4) Slow down ur current rig because 64-bit CPU EATS RAM like breakfast. Yes, a 64 bit CPU will require the double amount of memory in each register.

But lhey, look at the bright side. You\'ll be the only person within a 10,000km radius that\'s probably facing all these problem and owns the exclusive bragging rights to it!!! LOL.
