| With the beginning of this new year it's time

64-Bit Upgrade by Way of Open Source Isn't Bump-Free

,----[ Quote ]
| All of the drivers I need for my machines either come bundled with the Ubuntu
| install disk or sit waiting to be fetched and installed from Ubuntu's
| networked software repositories. Most of these drivers are maintained within
| the Linux kernel projectâan organizational structure that's helped to smooth
| the 64-bit migration path.
|
| What's more, Linux has a rather long history with the x86-64 architecture.
| The first x86-64 OS that I reviewed was SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, which
| hit the streets in the first half of 2003, some two years before Microsoft
| took up the platform.

| Google has begun work on a 64-bit version of Chrome for Linux, a move likely
| to whip Linux loyalists into a lather of excitement.
|
| "The V8 team did some amazing work this quarter building a working 64-bit
| port. After a handful of changes on the Chromium side, I've had Chromium
| Linux building on 64-bit for the last few weeks," said Chrome engineer Dean
| McNamee in a mailing list message Thursday.

No 64-Bit Surfing in Windows 7?

,----[ Quote ]
| There's one other way to address this problem, but we imagine most people
| won't want to go down that particular road: switch to Linux. Adobe recently
| released an alpha version of the 64-bit Flash player for that OS, but Windows
| users still have to wait.
