Not sure why you're flailing on this.  Mac OS 10.6, Snow Leopard, can be
set to load 64-bit, every time, if desired, or left to the default, to
load the 32-bit kernel.  Windows users must install one or the other.
This is not a huge difference.  Why split hairs?  I like Apple's
approach; if I need to use 32-bit kernel to work with older software, I
can, and can switch when 32-bit is no longer needed.  M$ does provide
32-bit or 64-bit.  This is at installation, but I don't slam them for
that.  Why the nit-picking?

Thank you,

No matter how you slice and dice it, the fact remains that Vista and
Win7 are fully 64-bit out of the box, including the kernel. I don't have
any problem with Macs, but I do love how you manage to claim that
defaulting to the 32-bit version of a critical component is somehow a
big advantage over 64-bit Windows, and a sign of superior engineering.
