Gents,
My take is there is a huge upswing in Win 7 64 bit platforms being sold. (I don't know anyone buying the 32 bit version of Win 7. Even on Laptops!)
The first consumer (or prosumer) video editing platform (Cyberlink, Pinnacle, Adobe, etc.,) that can utilise the extra power to nullify crashes and the like, while dropping rendering time, will get a lot of sales /market share.
I'd expect all OEMs are rewriting their software to make use of Win 7 64 bit and we won't see it until the "new" software is released in the Fall or early 2011. They don't make $$ on patches
Regards,
Jim
