subzero, on 64-bit application count

To use that 64 bit OS in any meaningful way will require 64 bit applications, and they will have to buy all new 64 bit applications, assuming they are available, and these will be very expensive because the volume will be low for the ISVs.

You've got to be kidding. Most of us will use only one or two 64-bit applications (unless you're talking the gaming community). But those will be the premier applications we bought the machine for in the first place.

The number of people needing more than single digits of 64-bit applications will be miniscule.
