Microsoft is planning to ship its next major version of Windows - known internally as version '7' - within roughly three years, CNET News.com has learned. The company discussed Windows 7 on Thursday at a conference for its field sales force in Orlando, Fla., according to sources close to the company. While the company provided few details, Windows 7, the next client version of the operating system, will be among the steps taken by Microsoft to establish a more predictable release schedule, according to sources. The company plans a more 'iterative' process of information disclosure to business customers and partners, sources said.

"Sounds like your little home network really mimics that of a large corporate IT"
Corporate IT is a controlled environment...the vast majority of the machines are A) going to be very similar to one another and B) tested thoroughly before deploying any kind of software. Thus if they were to deploy an x64 solution, I'd expect it to have been tested enough that it would work on 95%+ of the machines in the organization.
I'd say my 'little home network' is very typical of the hodgepodge of older hardware and varied software that a lot of other home users who would need x64, i.e. power users who are software developers, or media producers, etc, and thus is actually a very good reference for the types of issues I'd expect to see out in the uncontrolled space of home consumers where machines vary widely.
So what was your point again?
