I believe you may be correct in your assertion, more likely than not. The industry as a whole is due for the change, and it would prove extremely lucrative to not only MS, but also the hardware manufacturing community should 64 bit sweep the same way 32 bit did.
For others, Bernston's blog can be found at
http://www.craigberntson.com/blog/blogger.asp>64 bit is already making headway into the server room. I think when Longhorn hits, you'll see it grow on the desktop. My prediction (and I blogged this yesterday), that Longhorn is the last 32 bit OS from Microsoft.

>>64bit support at some point years down the road would be nice, and I'd welcome it, if and when that day came, for a number of reasons. However, it's not a foregone conclusion that 64bit support would make all VFP apps perform better.
