I find this unfortunate. By not shipping 64-bit, you're hindering 64-bit penetration in the market. Just as an FYI- HPUX, Solaris, Irix, AIX, and many "enterprise" UNIX vendors have been 64-bit for years and years. Even Apple recognizes the need to move to 64-bit computing with their efforts to make OS X completely 64-bit. So, by not shipping 64-bit pressed CDs, I think you're making a mistake.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
