Don't take this the wrong way, but the Internet is really good for drawing like people together more than people who disagree. All of the social networking concepts really encourage you to follow people who are like-minded - blogs, facebook, twitter, etc. I wouldn't be surprised that people who follow your blog want 64 bit more than cross platform.<div>
<br></div><div>I have to agree with you on that though, I have seen much more of a demand for 64 bit than cross platform. But in NZ, we tend to be outliers rather than the norm. Malcolm is responsible for pretty much all of Asia/Pacific - so his territory covers NZ, Australia, India, Taiwan, Korea, China, South East Asia, Singapore and I think Japan. Thats a lot of differing opinion - and I suspect the growing number of Mac people in "real life" is contributing towards it.<br>

empirical evidence seems to contradict his figures starkly. For instance, among
visitors to my blog, did all those people who thought that cross-platform is a
better idea than 64-bit simply choose not to comment and point out the error in
my thinking?</span></p>
