Easy to say Mal, but do you have any evidence to support that theory?

All I see are the same few folks on this forum chiming in whenever the 64 bit topic comes up which is frequently. Look at this thread. Where is the flood of people who agree with you? There's a few, that's it.

Now, I do agree with the concept that from a pure marketing and simply looking like Biab is a current piece of software pov they should go 64 bit. You haven't been able to buy a new 32 bit system for several years now, all new computers being sold are 64 bit. The problem is you're not gaining any functionality aside from the high end VST and ram usage thing. Peter asked you if there would be anything else that going 64 bit would improve and you have no answer for that one. It's just VST/ram usage.

This takes us back to my original point. There's not enough users who care about that to make the investment worth it. The time and effort involved would be huge for a small company like PGM and they're not seeing a decent ROI.
