64 bit MSPro?

[Dr Mordrid]

A user on the DMN MSPro forum recently asked;

Does anyone know if MSP is offering a 64 bit version of the software? If not, do you know if there are any plans to do so?

and Ulead answered thusly;

Not at the moment, would be my answer :-)

I'd say a very slight read between the lines is in order

I just hope the move to 64 bit shows tangible performance improvement when it does finally arrive. When we made the move from 16 bits to 32 bits the best we ever saw demonstrated in the same apps was 32 bits being "almost" as fast as 16 bits. I remember the excuse was that there was a lot of hand coded assembly in the 16 bit kernel.

Yes, we did get a lot of other badly needed features with 32 bits from 16, but not the performance. I guess the XP bloat is responsible for some of that. Let's hope Longhorn is relatively lean.

It is certainly strange to observe...how many people seem to feel vain of their own unqualified optimism when the place where optimism most flourishes is the lunatic asylum.

an optimist is a guy
that has never had
much experience.

The difference is droll:
The optimist sees the doughnut
But the pessimist sees the hole.
