Tim, I apologize if I misjudged your situation; usually the requests for Foundation in 64-bit come from people who are planning to upgrade massivly their home machine, and sometime they do not know that the 32-bit version of applications work equally well on them, or exactly what the 64-bit will cost to fully utilize. I apologize if this isn't your situation. The current licensing limitations of XSI are necessary. Foundation is possible because of Essential and Advanced, so there will continue to be significant advantages to go for Essential, and that indirectly benifits the Foundation community.
