    Good, Finally here comes the 64-bit.
    Only Quick Time is pending for me to go full 64bit then.

    Does that mean 64bit OS or 64bit browser? Cause it works fine for me as long as I use a 32bit browser. I’ve just gone without it and used 64bit though, now that flash and java both work on it.

      If we have pure 64 bit OS without any 32bit binaries, Windows Folder size will go down by ~7 GB (SysWow64 & WinSxS folders).
