Investors, not inventors. Adobe(/Macromedia) is a commercial company. As
usual, they will carry on with their arguments that pertain to how the
market share is not high enough to justify the investment. While Windows
holds back innovation, third-party vendors will follow suit. It's sad but
true. I don't know of anyone who runs 64-bit Windows XP. With the poor
compatibility all around, it's no surprise either. But people keep buying
64-bit AMD's....
Best wishes,
Roy
