You forgot to mention that x86-64 support will require a new OS specifically written for that architecture, not to mention recompiled applications to take advantage of the x86-64 expanded register files, etc.

Windows OS is very important, applications are not as important. The bulk of apps will not be recompiled for 64bit target for a very long time, some will never be recompiled, because they don't need to be. This is a point I think you are very confused about.

But it takes just a handful of apps to make the demand for x86-64 machines explode. SQL Server and Quake.
