Hehe, I am not one of the windows-can-do-better-guys. Even worse,there isn't a windows-version for 64bit, at least not in theaffordable range and usable for low-latency-audio. And I am prettysure it still carries enough 32bit- and maybe even 16bit-code with itto stay backwards compatible... Have fun with your new system. And _if_ problems arise, don't listento people telling you to go back to 32bit linux. Instead bug theauthors to fix there apps...
