[sldev] 64bit of sl?

[Stickman]

I'm wondering if this mythical Viewer 2.0 will include 64 bit support.

According to the Steam Hardware Survey, which has nothing to do with
Second Life and has no bearing on the direction it should take:
http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey Windows 7 64-bit is the fastest
growing operating system (by a whole percent, at 3%). And 64-bit OSes
take up 21.71% of the (represented) market. Over a fifth.

While I like the idea of moving forward to an architecture which
should already have saturated the world, I don't know what's involved
with 64-bit support. But doubling the number of clients the devs have
to maintain sounds like it could cause issues. I dunno.

Something for LL to think about if they haven't already. Because it
does need to happen eventually.
