I’m looking forward to not running into the 2 gigabyte limit anymore on development.

I'm not sure I understand, is this a request? 

I thought you were all ready running 64 bit.

EDIT:  I've been running Win 7 64 bit since it was released, Vista 64 bit before that.

Isn't it gone in Vista 64?

on Nov 17, 2010

Been on it for.... umm.. ages and while XP definitely is more fun to skin.. 7-64 pretty much rocks.

 

However I doubt many folks are going to fork out for an upgrade of an OS and possibly a PC to make Stardock's dev. workload easier.

 

Much as it would be nice.  I'm overdone, skinning 3 OS's for the price of one.

On it and love it.

If you’re not running Windows 7 64-bit yet, please do so soon

If you're not creating 64-bit versions of your software yet, please do so soon. It would certainly make it easier to convince people to upgrade. It's not ALL on the consumer.

I agree.  Without good programs that take advantage of 64-bit, why bother upgrading?  It is a joint effort.

Best regards,
Steven.

You got my vote. I run Win 7 Home premium 64 bit.

Working on it. Have to what for tax return for a full upgrade (if wifey will let me)

Dont Vista 64 bit run more than 2? Ive got a V-64 machine that seems to utilize all 4 gig's

They are making a 64 bit version they told me so but it won't come out for awhile. I hope it can add more than just larger maps.

I am looking into getting it through the college I go to (I will need to visit IT to get some idea for the form that goes to Microsoft, it is confusing). Their 'update advisor' program has issues though (there was at least one Microsoft device driver it could not tell if it would work with Windows 7). From using it in the schools computer labs, I hate Win7's UI; hopefully like with Vista it can be set to use something more functional... like Windows Classic.

Give me 8 more months. I'm not building a new comp until I move. I'm thinking I'm gonna run 12 gigs of mem, among other things.

I've been running XP since it came, out. Tried Vista later, but it sucked. I paid a $50 premium  for the 'privilege' of reverting back to XP instead of Vista & I've never had a problem since.

Yeah, various testimonials swear that  win7 is miles ahead of XP (not to mention Vista), but budgeting for it is a problem & XP still does what I want minus the bells and whistles Win7 provides, which I don't need for what I do.
