Marketing and those who are exposed to it don't care. Why do you think that 64bit is a big feature of the 10.5 Finder? Because it's useful or because it's a buzzword?

Given the coverflow stuff and whatever that feature is that lets you look into files with lots of pretty animation it may provide better performance.

Right. I forgot about Coverflow. Sure, that looks like it would the 2GB RAM in my computer for breakfast.


We have a lot of customers asking about a 64bit version without even understanding what the benefits and what the drawbacks of a 64bit application are. They just want it because it's a buzzword. All they see is that in the WWDC keynote demo, the 64bit app was a lot faster than the 32bit app, and that's what they now expect from our apps.

Then you'd better roll up your sleeves. ;-)

That's what they said after WWDC 05 too. OS X, now with 30% more transitions*!
