many companies already have.

I would be interested to know who. All I have looked at turn out to be
32 bit.

photoshop, lightroom, aperture, pixelmator. i'm sure there are more.

Golly!

The last time I looked it was only 32 bit and loaded into the x86
folder. Is it now a true 64 bit program?

both 32 and 64 bit versions are available.

i think windows defaults to installing the 32 bit version so you may
need to manually install the 64 bit version. on mac it's one universal
app.

On Photoshop CS5, if you have a 64-bit OS, the 64 and 32 bit versions
both install (I seem to recall that there can be issues with some third-
party plugins on the 64-bit so they do both to provide a workaround
until the plugin vendors get their act together). If you have a 32-bit
OS the 32 bit version installs.


Among those is my Epson 4870 Scanner. To use it, I have to switch back to
32bit mode.

What type of hardware monitors do you use?

what in the world does that have to do with the topic being discussed?

Hands(fingers), feet, eyes, ears, nose, all teamed with several cranial nerves.

Do the measurements. You'll be surprised.

Windows 7 will do it for you.

God. How many times can YOU get things wrong. Osx is based on Free Bsd.
This is programmed to be as like unix as possble just like linux. These
are not unix but they are as much like unix as they can be with all the
advances that has been made in the last few years.

Linux is a unix clone, but Free BSD and therefore MAC
OSX are literally UNIX by definition of the term "UNIX",
which is a trademark with a specific technical meaning.

Regardless, they are all "unix" or "Unix" in the sense
that the use the same interface to a kernel that
provides the same functionality.

There's no such thing as certified UNIX, not these days.

More bull pucky.

Nothing with all the proprietary code of the Mac OS could be considered UNIX.

Abject ignorance on your part.

Then why do they bother with things like 'eye' diagrams?

totally wrong. 64 bit apps are generally faster than 32 bit apps,
sometimes dramatically so, on the same processor.

Do some measurements. You'll be surprised.

take your own advice before spouting more nonsense.

32-bit apps should run significantly faster, all else being equal,
because they don't need to access memory as much.

what part of certified unix did you not comprehend?

What part of reading did you fail to comprehend.
