Hi, Ok. Time for my rant hehehehe Well, there are many big differences between the 32 and 64 bit O.S.es. These differences make it impossible to do a simple "port". I have had to do the exercise of "port"ing software from older platforms to newer and from one type of platform to another in the UNIX world. I feel GW's pain when contemplating the code/technique changes. Believe me, its going to be a very long and painful process. The Unit Testing alone will probably take months. The data types are entirely different, structures of O.S. constants are changed, i/o structures and the list goes on and on.. Any documentation I find for porting from 32 to 64 reads like "Gone With The Wind" or atleast as long of a read as the entire Chicago Metro phone book. For those who didn't quite get the psychobabble above, lets try this. Lets take a car that was designed to have 13inch wheels and retrofit it to use 30inch tires. Think of some of the steps needed to fix the problem. Simply jacking up the car wouldn't help as the size of the tires are big enough that they would touch front to back. Ok ok ok. that is a little extreme, but, these kind of thought processes are what will have to happen for a good portion of the existing WE product. I guess the purpose of this email is to say that 32bit O.S.es will be around for quite a while. Some will have to do some extra work to obtain vista 32 bit. Where it is a pain, what in life is easy. So, take a deep breath and be patient. Good things come to those who wait. With a smile.. Warm Regards..

If you upgrade to 4 gb memory, then you need to upgrade to a 64 bit OS to use all four gb. If you upgrade to 64 bit OS then window-eyes will not run. You can upgrade to 3 gb and use the vista that comes with, although it doesn't say here whether that is 32 or 64 bit. 32 bit OS' support up to 3 gb memory, so that's it as far as that goes. This situation is benighted, rong, and increasingly irritating. Unfortunately blind windows users are stuck.
