Microsoft is keen to stir up enthusiasm for Windows Vista, but when it comes to the 64-bit edition of the recently released operating system, the software giant is sending decidedly mixed messages. Vista is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, with the latter targeted at owners of recent computers with 64-bit processors. However, customers who purchase the retail version of Vista Home Basic, Home Premium or Business don't have the option of buying the 64-bit version directly. It also seems Microsoft will toughen its anti-piracy policies.

"beginning of the end
Probably would be more appropriate to say something like 'the begining of the end of Microsoft as we know it'. Even a relatively small loss of market share would have significant impact on MS. Continuing as they are will most certainly hurt the company, and shareholders will eventually demand better.
