Andre is just being honest to those individuals who ended up with x64
without alot of research (salesman, sounded neat, etc) and who aren't into
devoting their lives to installing and reinstalling the system, replacing
most of their hardware and maybe most of their software and still not being
able to have the functionality that they had with x86. Let's not pretend
this is anything but a niche system for techies for the most part.
