Issue #10261 has been updated by Josh Cooper.

Branch deleted (2.7.x)
Affected Facter version changed from 1.6.6 to 1.5.8

Windows has different names for what constitutes a 64-bit OS. There's `amd64`, 
`x86_64`, and `x64`. I think `x64` is the preferred name currently:

  `Windows Server x64`
  `splunk-4.2.4-110225-x64-release.msi`
  `java_ee_sdk-6u4-jdk7-windows-x64.exe`

However, `amd64` is also in use, e.g. `PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432=AMD64`, as is 
`x86_64`.

I think the primary use of the architecture fact is to select the appropriate 
package, e.g. `java_ee_sdk-6u4-jdk7-windows-x64.exe`, in which case I am 
planning on using that. If anyone thinks it should be something else, let me 
know.
