64-bit Windows wide open to viruses

Users of the latest 64-bit version of Microsoft's Windows XP
Professional x64 Edition operating system will not have the option to
install Norton or McAfee antivirus software, vnunet.com can reveal.
Users trying to install the Norton Internet Security 2005 security
suite for consumers on the 64-bit version of Windows see an error
message stating that the product can not be installed.

They are referred to a web page which states: "Symantec currently does
not sell any consumer products that are certified to be compatible
with 64-bit processors and operating systems."

What about the cost of the platform that supports it ?

You can buy a very good 64 bit computer for less than $500. Your arguments
are way off base.


Perhaps it's time to realize that you don't have a clue what you are talking
about, and to gracefully bow out of this thread.

Perhaps you are rich and can afford an Itanium ?

That would be "ka-ching!" would it?

This is not about Itanium but actually about the x64 platform (AMD64 and
Intel with EM64T) - which costs about the same as the 32-bit (x86) CPUs.
