Question:
How big a deal Win Vista 64bit really is?
Windows Vista (previously codenamed Longhorn) is due in 2006 according to the MS website.
I believe that it will feature 64-bit "calculations". How big a deal that is? How much performance improvements will it give us with current software? How much performance improvement will it give with the software written for 64bits?
I know the question is not specific and that the answer depends in part from what is my use of the computer, but any good pointer is appreciated
One more thing. I guess that software written for 64bit will not run on WinXP, right?

Thanks! I think I understood from your post something important that I had not understood before: it is not just the software that will be different, you will actually need 64-bit hardware to run the 64-bit WinVista. (Right?)
And I guess that older 32-bit software will still run on the newer 64-bit WinVista

64 bit is nothing to worry about right now. The 64-bit version of Vista is supposed to come after the 32 bit, which will be released first.
