Microsoft? Gleefully still letting OEMs ship out 32 bit versions of Windows, even on boxes leaving the factory with 4gb of RAM. No unification of the installer to just do the right thing. And it's going to bite a lot of people hard here soon. It's already happening in the enthusiasts areas, it's only a matter of time for the rest of the space.
And a dirty little secret is that, on many many systems, any RAM beyond 2GB (or sometimes as much as 3GB) actually requires 64-bit addressing on most Intel-based platforms.
Cheers
