Hummmmmm!!

"Double wide 64 bit CPU registers which allow larger number calculations to be
performed in fewer CPU cycles."

Wrong cow-boy, in 64 bits processors only the register for the integer units get to
be 64 bits wide, the floating point units have been using 64 bits registers for
years. An application like Photoshop does not really gain benefits from 64 bits
integer units as Phosothop manly deals with floating point numbers for its
calculation. In fact, only a few specialized applications will benefit from running
on processors having 64 bits integer units, cryptographic applications is an
example of those applications.

"It seems to me that there could potentially more Windows XP x64 or Vista x64
users than there are all of Mac users combined if Adobe ever offered an x64 64 bit
version of CS3 for Windows yet Adobe is happy to create a Mac version of CS3."

I don't get it, the main users of Photoshop are on mac, so yes this release is
important for Adobe, they are for sure happy for it. How can you expect that a 64
bits version of Photoshop on Xp x64 or Vista x64 can have more users than mac
users combined when first again most of the users of Photoshop use macs and
secondly that the only thing that people know about Xp x64 or Vista x64 is that
nothing works on those systems, who will use Photoshop there when most drivers
do not work on those systems. This is typical George Ou BS, stupid comments
from poor knowledge.

I tell you something more, it is very likely that Adobe will have more facility to
bring a 64 bits version of Photoshop on mac than on windows. Leopard will be full
64 bits but everything works on this OS (think about drivers) and Adobe can
provide a 64 bits version as Universal bibary together with the 32 bits version,
that's more easy for them and for the user, they don't have to bother with multiple
bimaries for multiple OS....
