They expect people to buy new hardware for the OS that touts no more legacy support, yet they still made a 32-bit version... Id rather know its going to hurt all up front and then let the healing begin.
I dont claim to be on top of the dynamics of the hardware/software industry, but from a regular consumers point of view: since they were going to force the general public to upgrade anyway, why not force 64-bit at the same time. It would have forced the driver support as well as increase the likelyhood of 64-bit apps sooner than later...
If there is some glaring mistake in my logic please enlighten me. I think I know where the migraine came from
I guess you sell more units the slower you progress. Incentive has become our biggest obstacle to true performance gains.
