#3 Re: java plugin on amd64: happy 5th anniversary! Posted by ajt (85.211.xx.xx) on Wed 27 Feb 2008 at 20:23 I didn't realise it was all 64-bit platforms. Effectively Windows isn't 64-bit yet, Microsoft could have released Vista as 64-bit only creating a 64-bit Windows market but they didn't so it will be years before Windows becomes 64-bit. So it is probably pointless to make a 64-bit Java plug-in for Windows. I can't imagine that any sane[0] person is still running a version of Solaris that isn't 64-bit, so if there is no support there then it's a joke. As I said previously, Linux is increasingly 64-bit, so no support there is a nuisance. Perhaps Sun aren't prepared to admit that there is such a thing as a 64-bit desktop market? I suppose if you include Windows then that's still true, but Linux/Unix is now mostly 64-bit. [0] Ironically I run 32-bit Solaris on an old SPARCstation 5, but it's a historic toy not a production system. -- "It's Not Magic, It's Work" Adam
