RE: 64 bit Windows...

["Ingvaldson, Scott" <SIngvaldson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I was appalled at several of the reviewer's comments.  I understand
that they work for PCMAG, but they showed a complete lack of
understanding of 64-bit processor history and their testing procedures
involved Doom III and Halo...

For those who haven't seen the article:
"Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither apparently will be 64-bit
computing. But we finally have the second pillar needed to hold up the
64-bit infrastructure: a mainstream operating system.  Microsoft Windows
XP Professional x64 Edition (XP64) uses the full power of modern 64-bit
processors (the first pillar) and makes that power available to
compatible 64-bit programs.  Or it would if there were any."

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I promptly 
flamed the reviewer for acting as if WinDoze were the only 
"mainstream operating system."
