Are there any plans to support this 64-bit platform, too?

Hi Ron,

We'd like to support all popular platforms.

Regarding Windows 64 bit in particular, it's hard to say at the moment how soon we'll support it, i.e. will it happen in 4.5 or a bit later.

I'm not familiar with Windows 64 bit, and have no idea yet about its acceptance at the moment.

Does it work on AMD64, or on de-facto obsolete Itaniums?

Is there anybody else who'd like to profile on that platform?

Best regards,
Anton

Just wanted to tentatively ask what you guys think. I've got an AMD64, but I am still on 32-bit. Well, actually dual-boot, but I am mostly working in 32-bit XP, because of missing drivers - and of course missing 64-bit applications. IntelliJ IDEA works quite nicely with the 64-bit Java edition, though.

I'm not familiar with Windows 64 bit, and have no idea yet about its acceptance at the moment.

It was released some month ago, so I guess acceptance is not too high currently. The good news is that most 32-bit applications run out of the box. But drivers cause serious pain - which includes the real time protection of all antivirus applications I know of.

Does it work on AMD64, or on de-facto obsolete Itaniums?

"Supported processors: AMD Athlon 64, AMD Opteron, Intel Xeon with Intel EM64T support, Intel Pentium 4 with Intel EM64T support"

If I had my wish, I'd wait for some release after 4.5, and just add an entry to the FAQ at this point in time.

Is "Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions" the same as your XP 64?

Would be nice. I've decided to switch to x64, everything I need works fine, e.g. IntelliJ IDEA.

The x64 implementation is based on the Windows Server 2003 code, that's why - at least the Betas - reported the version as "Windows Server 2003 x64". If you'd like, I can check my box for the name of the release version, but only next week.

Also, AMD provides a nice document called "Compiler Usage Guidelines for 64-Bit Operating Systems on AMD64 Platforms". It's worth a look if you haven't already.

FYI: we have added the support of 64 bit Java to the feature list of the currently developed version.

Sorry,

the statement

64 bit Java

should be

64 bit Java on Windows 64 bit
