The reason why we are not seeing 64 bit NLEs is that there is very little to
be gained by going 64 bit for editing. Editing is still not a hugely memory
intensive activity in the same way that compositing and 3D animation are.
I agree Martin, Vista's release must be in the minds of developers. Because
we don't need 64 bits why spend resources releasing a 64 bit version now to
a limited audience when the developers can release one 64 bit version for
all when Vista arrives.
