It'd be nice to be able to use the x64 version, but what's up w/ the lack of x64 plug-in's??? Still no Flash, Shockwave, etc.

That would be on the plugin developers....

Yea, I know. Adobe, chief amongst them. How difficult is it to write a 64-bit Flash plug-in??

I am not trying to be a jack*** here, but if it were easy as pie it would probably already have been written.

My *usual* response to a query like that is "If it is so easy, write one yourself...." but I wanted to illustrate the fact that the way that flash works make be tied to a 32bit system, and unless an Adobe developer can verify otherwise, we have to assume that it is not the world's easiest thing to do....
