I'm not sure I totally buy into that. I definately remember hearing BillG say, "64 bit on the desktop will be here sooner than you expect."
>64-bit is mainly for servers, like Windows Server, SQL Server,
>Exchange Server, etc. Desktop applications running 32-bit will dominate
>for many years, and will always run in 32-bit mode on a 64-bit operating
>system as well. Over half of all VFP developers already use SQL Server

>Our recommended solution for 64-bit applications using VFP moving

>VFP developers will do if they end up needing 64-bit.
