Really...i would of thought that 64 bit instructions would speed things up...humm interesting.
Running server 2008 64 version, which is practically vista 64 + awsomness
but from the amount of unix users it sounds like you should drop unix first... seeing that they are less than 20% of the user base and i even doubt they have that much.

So if I'm on 64bit Vista I'm screwed concerning future updates? Also, I find it amusing that the polls are showing a majority of 64 bit users.
Edit: That's not meant to be condescending and obviously it doesnt even matter, you've already gone ahead with it, i just find it amusing.

I fully support this decision. If there is no significant performance gain (for the effort to code/maintain) to be had in a x64 build and most of the user base is running x32 then this is the correct choice. Thanks to all the dev's for taking the time to explain the reasoning behind dropping x64.

Will the poll reflect/alter the decision already made?
