Boston, MA | Does the Windows 7 Pre-Order Deal works with 64bit version?
I am attempting to obtain the Windows 7 Pro Pre-Order but I can't find a 64-bit version or is it inclusive? |

I don't really understand the point of having a 32b version anymore. |

Little Falls, NJ | I'm guessing a lot of businesses and home users still have 32-bit processors that are fully capable of running Windows 7. Microsoft would be crazy to cut off these users and would most likely lose billions because of it. |

From what I have read, Professional and Ultimate ships in both 32 and 64 bit installations, on the same media. |

It's not just Pro and Ultimate, Home Premium also includes 32/64 bit versions. |

confused too
You have to admire Apple's simple and straightforward OS philosophy. Not only is Windows a super confusing and incredibly cluttered operating system, but customers are stuck trying to decode complicated charts dictating which of 10 versions is best for them. That lust for legacy support could be the very reason why Windows is so complex and intrusive. |
