We know.

But the apps out in the wild are... wild. Most .NET apps automatically run as x64 on an
x64 OS ('cause the devs don't set the x86 tag). So folks are doing .NET->ADO->ODBC... and
are stuck if they are on an x64 OS.

The x64 OS world is picking up really quickly all of a sudden with Windows7. x64 apps are
happening as well, partly due to the way .NET apps are automatically 64 bits....

We understand. In fact, for our own reasons we are also interested in an x64 compiler from
CG (and where the heck is the roadmap for that?).

Please keep us posted on this!
