YOu have made an excellent point! Not many developers are writing software for the 64 bit (yet). This is a case of technology outpacing need. Think of buying a blu-ray player...your old DVD's aren't gonna be able to make use of all the blu-ray player features,..so now you gotta replace all your DVD's with blu-ray.
You are so right in this John! My son and his wife purchased an HD dvd player, and was happy with it though the movies cost more, well a few months ago walmart stopped carrying HD movies and when they asked about they were told that they decided to stop carrying them because everyone was buying blueray, now you cant hardly find HD movies anywhere. They are stuck with an HD player. Reminds me of years ago when they came out with VHS players and BETA players...well we all know what happened to the BETA players...lol.
