      I just read in someone's blog that Microsoft was reporting that more than 50% of Win 7 sales were for the 64-bit version. Does anyone have a Microsoft source link for this stat?

      Best wishes, Hans

      I would expect that since AMD or Intel have not produced a 32 bit only x86 processor in over 3 years and 4GB of ram is less than $100 again.

        I thought that the installation disk came with both 32bit and 64bit versions. Perhaps they were referring to installations, not sales.

        I think that's only for Ultimate. I'm almost positive that was the case with Vista (When I bought Vista Ultimate, it came with both 32 and 64 bit versions).

          From my last job as a admin I still have friends. It is a huge international corporation. Any there they just started moving to win 7 and winserv 2008 r2. Win 7 64 bit. I also have some friends(not really friends more like people I know) at some other major players in the auto and IT bussnisses. As far as I know they are all shifting to w7 64 bit.

          All the best, Dan

            Where I work, when they rolled out win7, only developers got x64, regular users only got x86. It could just be that devs were the first group to be given laptops with 4gb of ram; I'm not sure what is being bought now.

              Intel is still producing 32bit mobile atoms. The N4xx series were the first 64 bit atoms for netbooks. The 6xx atoms they launched in sept/nov for embedded systems are still 32bit only, and may show up in windows tablets later this year.

                They don't - neither in store, nor as MS download. In some MS software programs, you get licences for either-or, but it's still different media.

                    Haven't seen it for any Windows distribution, though.
