There're one or two footballers called Figueroa over here these days.

Yes, Mike, I stopped bothering to run 64-bit versions some months
ago now. Funnily enough it seemed to me that Server 2008 x64 beta(s)
were less memory intensive than Win 7 x64, which is what finally
drove me back to x86.

That's something I've never felt the need to do so not something
I'll miss. As to running 64 bit, although I have PCs running both
Vista 64 and Win 7 64 I have yet to find a compelling reason to
running 64 bit rather than 32 bit other than perhaps due to the
increased memory demands that result from application and os bloat.

of reminds me of the song (Mr. In-between).
