That paragraph continues:
" I have already talked about some (but not all) of the technical the
reasons in a previous blog entry and why it's not just a simple
recompile or fixing 'pointer casting bugs'. It will happen eventually
and we are actively working on it, but the time table is completely
unknown to me at this point. The focus of ours is to first reach a
majority of Linux users with a stable and usable build to get as much
beta feedback as possible."
So, how is it Microsoft's fault that the majority of Linux users don't use
64-bit systems, or that it is more work than just a recompile or fixing
casts to make a 64-bit version of Linux?
