OT: 64bit Apps Finally Arrive

I noticed today that Adobe has officially released Lightroom 2, which includes a native 64 bit version for 64 bit operating systems. Guess this is the start of the next generation of apps.

If Sony drags any longer, Adobe will beat them out the door with their 64bit NLE which if the info I have is correct, will be September.

Uh - you mean natvie "video" apps right? Steinberg and Cakewalk have had 64-bit native audio apps out there for some time now.

Only Cakewalk has a true released 64 app. Steinberg has nothing except a "preview" edition which is not worth the time to install - let alone use.

I'm actually a Cakewalk Sonar user. But I'm working in 32-bit thanks to the fact that most 3rd-party plugins are still 32-bit. So, despite the fact that Cakewalk is ahead of the game with a great 64-bit DAW, other software developers are holding up the game. Of course, the nightmare that is Vista (64bit or not) has not encouraged rapid migration...
