Big corporates must be evaluating it at least otherwise there's no reason for a software company like the one I work for to be developing and testing on 64bit platforms because our customers request it.
There's no reason why it's a problem. We're talking the NT line here and after all 32bit NT (proper operating system) was way more robust than nasty 16bit DOS/Windows (spawn of the devil
), so not much reason why 64bit XP/Server2003 (NT really) is no less robust as 32bit. As with unix, it drops down to 32bit as necessary anyway (slightly better at it than the old 16bit WOW which was more emulation, whereas this relies on the 64bit processor ability to run 32bit... I think).
