Clearly the point didn't come across as I hoped. What I'm saying is that our resources are stretched incredibly thin and IMHO this is a waste of time expending so much energy discussing the potential benefits when we have 5,000 or so open bugs that need addressed, probably at least a couple thousand of which are much more important than a 64 bit version on Windows. That being said, if you want to continue listing all the reasons why we need one to anyone who will listen - feel free to do so, I just personally don't think it's very productive or conducive to the best LibreOffice experience. I would hope that some people who have taken so long listing all the great benefits of 64 bit would spend an equal amount of time triaging the 1,200 bugs that are currently UNCONFIRMED and need testers - the # of Windows bugs in particular in that state is disturbing as most users are Windows users.


All the best,
Joel

So, having a 64bit Linux version is Ok, creating a 64bit version for MacOS
(starting in LO 4.2) is Ok, but asking for a 64bit Windows build is
selfish...

Interesting. Us Windows users should be ashamed of ourselves...
