64 bit native
OK I’ll take the plunge. When can we expect to see this from Adobe? Full industry HD integration is a 3 year countdown. We need all the bandwidth we can get, both in hardware, and the applications we use. We have quad 64bit processors on the PC, and Longhorn is soon to be released.

When they release Vista, then there will be a few of us who move to it and Adobe will have a few beta testers available. Until then, how do you propose Adobe fully test the Video software? With beta Microsoft software as a base? That could change any moment? Too expensive is my guess.

I’ve been running XP64 for a year and half now. Including PPro 1.5, granted 32bit emulation. Everything I’ve thrown at it with the exceptions of drivers currently runs flawlessly, on Opteron, and Dual Core systems. Now most drivers for onboard device support are available.(Ex audio, VGA, SCSI, SATA, etc). Granted MS has not launched Vista, but PPro should be going into beta by now. I do not want to see the lag behind FCP, and the continuous upgrade paths that don’t really address this issue.
In three years SD won’t be an option, we are all going to need HD real time, not HDV.Not to ruffle any feathers, but how is it that Apple pulls it off, (for a year and half now) and currently with Intel in their pocket. The Port process is not that tough. 64 bit on the MAC happened with the roll out of G5s in kind of the blink of an eye. Even on slower G5 cpu’s FCP is extremly responsive. If I have to go to a MAC facility for an online because my facility can’t crank out the goods, I am in serious trouble.

Gene,
As an aside, can you tell me where you found drivers, like USB for XP64? I got it from Microsoft, installed it, but then had trouble locating simple drivers.
Appreciate any help. -
One reason Apple have an advantage is that they don’t have to make there OS run on a huge number of hardware configurations unlike Microsoft, I’m not sure Apple could even handle what MS have to do with every OS update.
I personally prefer to be able to update my computer as I go, for the cost of the parts and with that you accept and understand the job MS actually have to do to make there OS work whatever I may throw at it.
