Certainly all that is true. Once again this is not about denying the benefit
of 64 bit, it is about when that benefit becomes important enough to *any
given person or company* to invest, not only in new hardware, but the new
software too. Even then, they'll generally invest initially to upgrade
servers only. Client stations come much later.
