Well...if you put it THAT way, the "quantum computers" over the horizon will blow 64-bit AND 128-bit out of the water!
Hey, the first "notable" title that is coming out soon is Adobe CS4. And even then, only selective people will use that. Perhaps it is very true that 64-bit has great "processing" advantages. But
practically it means very little until what you say (and that article says) will happen in the future...whenever that may be. Heck, by that time it might already be time to upgrade to Windows 7. And all those scientists have already been using 64-bit for years like in XP-64 (with equation solvers or whatever) anyway.
The question then becomes...why should "everyone else" go Vista 64-bit. And that's what we want an answer to...imho.
