Well, the OS is here & will be announced later today. All's we need now is for aaallll of the software companies to auto-magically start shipping 64bit versions of their apps..... heh.

"The new Windows won't be showing up on retail shelves, though. Customers who buy a desktop or server with a 64-bit chip will have the option of getting the new operating system, while people who own an existing 64-bit machine will have the option of trading in their old 32-bit Windows for the 64-bit upgrade."
