Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: Will win64 native build exist on 3.5.0 or at least 3.5.x releases?
I must admit I considered the option of answering you in catalá slang. It is a shame that this is the answer from a Deputy of the Board of Directors... Sorry for my last message.

Hi Pedro and Tor, I forgot to mention another two win32/win64 big and famous open source appliances: - MySql (!) http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/#downloads - PostgreSql (!) http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows About PostgreSql (that I installed, I used, I designed, I used to develop appliances (SQL, Pg-Pl/Sql) in the past) there is a very interesting page that could also help us http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/64bit_Windows_port that was about the win32 - win64 port. Since version 9.0, EnterpriseDB deploy and make it available both windows installers and builds (win32 and win64). What do yuo think about that?

I also think that most of the LibreOffice Devs don't use the Office programs they are developing on a daily basis as a production tool. If they did, it would be obvious to them that an x64 build is needed to work on heavy documents.
