Well I guess I have become skeptical about when they will release such a thing as they have been saying that they will put out a 64 bit version for Intel for years now but then always pushing back the release date. No doubt it's related to the difficulties Intel has been having with Itanium. If Intel deliver their AMD compatible 64 bit chips reasonably soon then surely a 64 bit Windows release can't be too far away.

The other thing is that when something as big as this changes
in the OS it can take a while for various things to straighten
themselves out.  Things like development tools, devices drivers
and so on.  I guess for you the key thing is when they will
deliver a 64 bit version of C# and associated tools.

Curiously, you could get 64 bit Windows for Alpha CPUs about
8 years ago!  A friend of mind used to develop things for it
way back then, but that version of Windows was eventually
killed off by Microsoft.
