Off the top of my head I can think of several free and widely used apps that currently must run as 32bit :- Any web browser must be 32bit if you want to use plugins such as Flash player or Deja-Vu viewer. Xine/Mplayer must be 32bit if you want to watch videos using the win32 codecs (WMV 9 etc). OpenOffice must be 32bit as a 64bit version does not exist. Xine/Cedega must be 32bit in order to use and run 32bit applications (all windows apps). -- Stuart Morgan _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list mythtv-dev@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
