They did have a beta of a 64b carbon. The problem is that carbon is
very broad and has a lot of crufty old corners. Getting from the
80% of the beta to 100% was looking pretty impossible. That left them
with a choice between saying carbon wasn't supported or saying it
was supported with this long, confusing list of exceptions and bugs.
They went with the first choice.

As to the original question, we run OSG on 64bit Vista, XP, Solaris,
OSX, and Linux with no problems, but we don't use the osgViewer
library or a couple of the plugins. The core libraries work fine
on all of those platforms. It would be nice to clean up some more
of the warnings.
