While Ed does have a point that the Windows market for x86-64 hasn't been that spectactular, he's missing another point. 64 bit OS's have been around for years. Solaris has a PC version that's been 64 bit for a long time. There are many flavors of linux that are also 64 bit. I'm currently running a dual opteron with Suse 9.4 in the 64 bit version. Just because Microsoft is taking their sweet time to develop a viable x86-64 system, doesn't mean that x86-64 wasn't a good buy back in the day.
