Re: What makes you so sure that Microsoft will release a client version of Windows for x86-64? Microsoft is desperate to get units up, and the only way to do that is to get buyers to replace existing machines. If you've got a 32-bit PC that's fast enough, why in the world would you buy the same thing but clocked a little higher? And many buyers have recently had the experience of replacing an 800 to 1000 mhz PIII with a 1600 to 2000mhz P4 and seen an average performance improvement of zero. But replacing a 32 bit machine with a 64 bit machine? Now you're getting somewhere! That's worth paying to upgrade an existing desktop (for some percentage of buyers). Microsoft knows this.
