True that -- there are a significant number of people saying, "But Apple SAID it would be 64-bit and my kernel isn't 64-bit in Snow Leopard!" I wonder how many of those people are going to be detrimentally impacted by that fact, and how many of those are simply complaining about semantics, not even knowing what the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit is really. "You mean this Ferrari only has a top speed of 160mph? But the advertisement said 170!" ...as if there were a place in the USA where that speed could actually be attained... :/

Please don't bring cars into this, or someone will say 32bit is like 4 cylinders and 64bit is like 8 cylinders and the discussion will be too far off within 2 or 3 comments!

I was going to say two-wheel drive vs. four-wheel drive... or manual vs. automatic... or sunroof vs. moonroof... Oh, fryke, you killed my buzz... Hehe...Seriously, I really believe that some of the "detractors" learning that Snow Leopard may not, in fact, run in full 64-bit glory are simply haggling over specs that have little-to-no bearing on their operating system in the first place. We haven't heard any negative comments from Wolfram or Mathematica; arguably the most "64-bitted" of any of the applications offered on Mac OS X, so that leads me to believe that they're just complaining to complain.

I've laser-engraved "64-bit workstation" on my MacBook Air. :P (No, I haven't actually done that.)

I figure since my MacBook will be running a 32-bit kernel but be able to run 64-bit apps that I'm going to laser-engrave it "48-bit workstation." :O

Actually, it'll be a 32-bit PLUS 64-bit workstation, so that's a 96-bit workstation then.
