64-Bit Java Plugin Finally Released
PrintFinally answering the call first made in 2003 and ultimately "deferred to a future release," Sun Microsystems is giving users a 64-bit plugin integrated into Java 6 Update 12. The new update also includes a 64-bit version of Webstart, a framework which offers end-users the ability to start Java applications over a network or the internet.
The 64-bit plugin is required for 64-bit browsers and comes included as part of the Java Runtime Environment. Users planning to run 32-bit and 64-bit browser interchangeably must install both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the JRE.
In addition to the 64-bit plugin, Java 6 Update 12 offers official Windows 2008 support, better performance, and no less than 140 bug fixes.

If there had been 64 bit support for java and flash way back when in 2005 or so, (When Microsoft released the Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.) I might have been tempted to use their x64 browser. (Which did seem to have an obvious speed advantage over the 32bit browser.) It was, however, funny trying to load www.microsoft.com using the 64 bit browser, getting an error and having to switch to the 32 browser.

And where's Canon's RAW support for 64 bit. Funny that the latest photoshop is catered 64bit, but Canon won't support it.
