The argument would seem more compelling if you had answered that
there was a difference you could see...
If enough people scream things will
move. demand is important. if everyone that "has demand" uses a
workaround theres absolutely no reason for them to do anything.
I think you are shooting yourself in the foot here. It's one
thing to demand a free Linux download for 1% of the market
but now you want to make that a bunch of different versions,
each with their own quirks (AMD doesn't make the only
64 bit processor).
For a vendor its the question if their technology becomes obsolete
or
not. if they dont support arches that are becoming more and more
popular then they loose market share and if the market share is small
enough the technology is pretty easy to obsolete ;) i wish wed be
there already.
I'd be happy if it just wasn't all windows already.
