dybdahl - Re: "On the client, Intel continues to provide Pentium processors...
I don't believe that everybody wants to have 64 bit on the desktop right now, especially since most software on the desktop will be 32 bit for quite a while. Except maybe Linux software. "

Your analysis is right on the mark.

To further your argument, the current mass Microsoft Client Software (Win 95/98) is still based on A LOT OF 16 bit software !!!

Since 15 years have passed since the 32 bit 80386 came out, I wonder in Microsoft will take 15 more years to transition to a 64 bit client OS ?
