I think Microsoft main reason why they make XP 64bit, they want all user to have target practice before Longhorn will arrive. And also thought, Longhorn will be in 64bit OS(WinXP Pro today) and 32bit OS(WinXP Home today)....

mga bros, the xp64 is more geared towards those using CAD/CAM works, its not meant for us desktop users

Yup, blame it to AMD. :P

interesting to note that Intel is using AMD's 64 bit instructions because Microsoft choose AMD's set
