Microsoft will be shifting its products to 64-bit only beginning later this year, Bill Gates told more than 3,500 attendees at the company’s Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) in Seattle on Tuesday.

Maybe they'd better hold off on that. While i'd appreciate being able to use Windows XP_64, many utilities such as Macromedia Flash have no 64 bit version for either Windows or _nix. That gets to be a real pain in the @$$. i have to go to Konqueor to view flash content in Linux. With my present Windows XP installation (XP_32), i'm fine, but to upgrade to take advantage of my AMD64 processor, i'd be screwed.
