Maybe IE9 will change that? Pure speculation. Although with the separate processes, is there much need for 64-bit? FWIW, it is possible to have a 64-bit browser load 32-bit plugins with some kind of wrapper - this is exactly what happens on OSX and Safari. That said, Safari is now also going with the each tab in a separate process approach. > On 14 April 2010 14:08, Ola Karlsson <ola.e.karls...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Hi Greg, >> Check out this Ars Technica article from January on this exact >> topic http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2010/01/why-microsoft-isnt-working-on-silverlight-64-bit.ars >> Out of interest, the same same goes for >> Flash http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html, no x4 support there >> either. >> From the Ars Technica article, it sounds like Microsoft reckons they will >> do it, but not right now. >> There just isn't enough demand for Silverlight on x64 browsers (i.e. not >> enough people use x64 browsers). > > No likely to be much demand if Microsoft default to the 32 bit version of > IE ;-) > -- > noonie > > > _______________________________________________ > ozsilverlight mailing list > ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com > http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight > > _______________________________________________ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight
