Adobe's CS4 Should Give Apple Sales a Boost

Tan - sorry but the chips are 64bit but while OS X is built on 64bit it can NOT run 64 bit apps or see more RAM (which negates your whole point). CS4 & Lightroom 2.1 both run in 64bit only under VISTA 64. And from what I see it's real nice - heres a current user discussion - www.flickr.com/groups/...

Apple dumped their processor for the dreaded Intel
Apple dumped thier "better" OS for Unix based OS X (still only 32 bit 4 gb MAX)
Watch how many use VISTA 64 which does not have the problems of vista 32.

You missed a HUGE point - CS4 is 64 bit for PC's and NOT for mac's. Those High end people will need to go with Vista 64 to take advantage of extra memory room 64 bit allows above ~4 GB 32 bit limit. Vista 64 can access between 16 & 128gb of ram. I would much rather have access to more RAM then easiy Ipod usage.
