12.3.2007 Who wants or needs 64 bits?
It looks like the world isn't clamoring for 64-bit desktops just yet.
Nearly two and a half years have passed since 64-bit processors started going into PCs. But the software to take full advantage of these chips remains scarce, and customers aren't buying much of what's out there. The 64-bit chips provide greater performance than their older 32-bit counterparts, but that's because of speed upgrades and other architectural enhancements.

19.03.2009Windows Vista 64-bit Today
Chris Flores: There appears to be a shift taking place in the PC industry: the move from 32-bit to 64-bit PCs.
We've been
tracking the change by looking at the percentage of 64-bit PCs connecting to Windows Update, and have seen a dramatic increase in recent months. The
installed base of 64-bit Windows Vista PCs, as a percentage of all Windows Vista systems, has more than tripled in the U.S. in the last three months,
while worldwide adoption has more than doubled during the same period. Another view shows that 20% of new Windows Vista PCs in the U.S. connecting to
Windows Update in June were 64-bit PCs, up from just 3% in March. Put more simply, usage of 64-bit Windows Vista is growing much more rapidly than
32-bit. Based on current trends, this growth will accelerate as the retail channel shifts to supplying a rapidly increasing assortment of 64-bit
desktops and laptops.

14.02.2006Microsoft: No plans for 64-bit Silverlight 3
Once again Microsoft is going back on its push for 64-bit computing for the masses. In an interview with ars technica Scott Guthrie, corporate vice
president of Microsoft's .NET Developer Division gave the following response regarding Micrsoft's 64-bit Silverlight plans: Right now our
plan is to run SL in 32-bit mode (and not have a 64-bit native version). This is mostly because other browser plug-ins (and most browsers) don't
support 64-bit yet. We are looking at adding native 64-bit support in the future though. The lack of companies supporting the push for 64-bit
computing is evident and Microsoft needs to lead the way to ensure people can swap to 64-bit browsers and use the addins they are familiar with.

12.02.2008Confirmed: Office 2010 will be 32-bit and 64-bit

Technica is reporting, this is fully confirmed by Microsoft themselves. According to Ars Technica, an email exchange between them and a Microsoft
spokesperson revealed that, "Yes, Office will have two separate 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Office 2010 will be the first to do this." This means
that from now on, those running 64-bit versions of Windows will not longer have to emulate a 32-bit environment to have a working Office; it'll be
fully compatible, with all the benefits 64-bit brings.

14.03.2007Photoshop, Lightroom, and Adobe's 64-bit Roadmap
As you've probably seen, among the great features in the Lightroom 2.0 beta is its ability to run 64-bit-native on Mac (Intel, 10.5.x) and Windows
(Vista 64). If you think it feels great to beat Aperture to the punch here, you're right. :-)
What does 64-bit computing mean, practically
speaking? In a nutshell, it lets an application address very large amounts of memory--specifically, more than 4 gigabytes. This is great for pro
photographers with large collections of high-res images: Lightroom being able to address more RAM means less time swapping images into and out of
memory during image processing-intensive operations...

10.01.2009Is 64-bit Vista ready for take off?
For many moons, I've been raising the issue of how people get to 64-bit Windows 7, which is a big compatibility shift from 32-bit Windows XP. The
obvious answer is via Vista, but is that 32-bit Vista and/or 64-bit Vista? The price includes both, so it's up to you.
Initially, Vista
was a bit short of drivers, or else had some bad drivers. That made 32-bit Vista the obvious choice for most people, because 64-bit drivers were even
rarer. The same thing applied to software compatibility, only more so, because while it does run 32-bit programs, 64-bit Vista is much less forgiving
about rubbish programming.
Now it looks as though the dramatic improvements in Vista drivers etc could be feeding through into the 64-bit
version (possibly with a bit of help from the Windows Server market, which is now almost all 64-bit). Anyway, according to Chris Flores on the
Vista team's
blog.

26.05.2009Vista users get the 64-bit blues
Microsoft is keen to stir up
enthusiasm for Windows Vista,
but when it comes to the
64-bit edition of the recently
released operating system, the
software giant is sending
decidedly mixed messages.
Vista is available in both
32-bit and 64-bit versions,
with the latter targeted at
owners of recent computers
with 64-bit processors.
However, customers who
purchase the retail version of
Vista Home Basic, Home Premium
or Business don't have the
option of buying the 64-bit
version directly.
Instead, they have to
purchase the 32-bit version
and then order a replacement
CD from Microsoft, for which
they are required to pay a
postage charge. The charge is
described as "minimal" by
Microsoft, but comes in at
just under AU$15 for
Australian users.
The online ordering scenario
is not straightforward either.
To ensure that people don't
try order upgrades based on
pirate copies, or install the
32-bit OS on one system and
the 64-bit OS on another,
users have to provide the
software product key. Credit
card payment is the only
option offered. The issue
doesn't apply to the
top-of-the-line Windows Vista
Ultimate release, which does
include 32- and 64-bit
releases in the same package.
Enterprise customers on
subscription arrangements can
also download the 64-bit
versions directly.
