Is Longhorn going to be 64-bit? Or are they going to release a 64-bit version at an even later date.

As someone who works in IT support, this makes me cry

As we have enough problems having to support all sorts of versions as it is.

There already is... and its floating around out there.... I know several people who use it as a main OS. But keep in mind the average life cycle is about 30 days for any of the longhorn builds...
