And Windows has been 64-bit for several years now. The problem has been in driver support and app compatibility, no surprise there. I understand there are costs to port things over to 64-bit, but just once I would love one of the major companies to be ahead of the curve, or at least breaking even, instead plodding along lethargically and forcing early adopters to suffer longer than they should have to. Windows 7 and Server 2008 are also the last Windows OSes that will be available in 32-bit. Everything will be 64-bit from here on out. I plan on getting the 64-bit version of 7. Exchange 2007 is 64-bit only and all of my new servers will be 64-bit as well. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
