Interesting! When the last time (around two month ago) I went to see how ready
is 64 bits Intel, I found that only Linux version for 64 bits is pretty done.
Windows was indicated as missing from the picture. Maybe I did some mistake. It
is all the time possible. For how long you found your 64 bits Windows, or
running it on your computer?
