Visual Studio (beta) with 64-bit (c#) compilation is available now: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/productinfo/productline/
as is Windows XP 64-bit for testing. That's all one needs for development.

No doubt it's related to the difficulties Intel has been having with Itanium. If Intel deliver their AMD compatible 64 bit chips reasonably soon then surely a 64 bit Windows release can't be too far away. The other thing is that when something as big as this changes in the OS it can take a while for various things to straighten themselves out. Things like development tools, devices drivers and so on. I guess for you the key thing is when they will deliver a 64 bit version of C# and associated tools. Curiously, you could get 64 bit Windows for Alpha CPUs about 8 years ago! A friend of mind used to develop things for it way back then, but that version of Windows was eventually killed off by Microsoft.
