Vista 64 bit market share

Hi,

I'm looking for surveys research or esimations what is the current and
future estimated (2008-2009) market share of vista 64 bit among home users /
gamers.
Any piece of data will be helpfull.

Thanks,
Shapupu

Search Google, its not high I would personally say since most OEMs ship
systems with Vista 32 bit and the majority of retail Vista SKUs especiall
consumer and business premium SKUs except for Ultimate come with only the 32
bit disk.

Check Steam for the gamers that run Vista 64 compared to other OS's.
It's part of Half Life and other games.

It's not exactly pure statisical data, but the days of 32-Bit computing
are numbered. Just as we all moved from 16-Bit to 32-Bit, we'll soon be
moving from 32-Bit to 64-Bit. Vista x64 has made this transition
possible.

If it is your intention to use this information to decide whether to
use 32-Bit or 64-Bit Vista, then may I make a suggestion? Invest in
64-Bit now, because that's is where the market is headed.

Unless Microsoft changes their "roadmap", the next release of Windows
(Windows Seven) will be available in both 32 and 64-Bit versions,
although that may change. Whatever follows that will only be 64-Bit.

If Windows Vista is purchased retail, both 32 bit and 64 bit are
included:

However what you purchase with OEM, 32 bit or 64 bit, is what you
get, not both.
One of the many reasons OEM costs less than retail.

Only Ultimate retail includes the both platforms. You have order the 64 bit
disk separately for the other SKUs.

Yes, and with hardware all being released in mostly 64 bit incarnations
lately, and software/hardware requirements growing, it's only a matter
of time before 64 bit becomes standard.

As a datapoint, I recently went from 32-bit to 64-bit, so far the only
issue at all is that my Palm and iPod Touch only have 32-bit drivers.

For the Palm, I can still hotsync via bluetooth if desired.

At the moment I am able to sync both against a 32-bit Vista installation
under VMWare, so that keeps me happy enough.

This is on a fairly modern system which I built specifically for Vista,
but did not factor in 32 vs 64 at all, I originally had no intentions of
going to 64-bit, so that wasn't a deciding factor when purchasing
components. A need for additional RAM prompted the upgrade, and I
couldn't be happier.
