It's an almost 50/50 split of Apple and Microsoft news. Apple's WWDC is an unavoidable news-machine outputting Snow Leopard, Safari 4, new MacBook [Pro]s and the iPhone 3GS (The 'S' is for sucks -- ed. It's a joke!). Microsoft returns the volley with their decision to remove IE completely from Windows 7 in Europe, but between all this giant game of tennis we find a quiet moment to discuss QNX and SkyOS too.

Yes, that was a misguided line of reasoning by myself. However, that said, one still has to wonder how the gaming market is going to react to increased pressure to move beyond the 4GB barrier, and the extra hurdles that entails.
Personally, I gave up gaming on a PC years ago (and moved to a Mac) after the pace of things all became too impractical for me, it could only possibly be worse now.

Come on!
That is just ridiculous, it would be like saying gaming on Linux is better than on Windows because of Linux running 64 bit nice for years.
Simply look at the available games and after that look at benchmarks of games running on 64 bit Windows with more RAM. Most games don't really use the extra RAM so far, so at this time you hardly gain performance and in the _future_ well as pointed out if you have a Windows Version there is no problem to legally get the 64 bit version and install more RAM if needed.
And to be honest installing 64 vs. buying a new PC that won't properly run most of your games is not really an option for a "gamer" -- being none myself but knowing some who play a lot.
