BTW, there has been a 64 bit version of Linux since 1995, IIRC. It was for the DEC Alpha and followed shortly by the PowerPC version.
And guess how many programs at that time weren't 64 bit clean? Even 4 years later when I joined SUSE quite a number of programs still couldn't cope with the fact that pointers exceeded the size of an int.
