I think that Adobe blogger agrees with you
about 64-bit, he's just saying that
they're not shipping it yet, and here
are technical reasons why it's not so bad.
He also says (in the comment section) that if you have a
64-bit OS with more than 4 gig of RAM Photoshop
CS2 detects this and lets the OS do the disk caching,
giving a small performance boost. So Photoshop
will use 2 gig of RAM on your 64-bit OS
setup + the OS will be using the rest for the
disk caching.
