Does anyone know if MS is creating a 64bit version of silverlight for Windows yet? Flash 10.2 preview 64bit is out for all O.S, i'm hoping MS will follow suit and release a 64bit version of silverlight. 64bit chrome is in development, there is 64bit IE and 64bit firefox 4 is coming too, there's only chrome and safari left in the mainstream browsers that haven't released or announced a 64bit browser and they don't have much of a market share.

Did you read this? ==> Why there's no 64-bit Silverlight from Microsoft... yet (http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2010/01/why-microsoft-isnt-working-on-silverlight-64-bit.ars)
Soon after the Silverlight 4 beta arrived (unsurprisingly, only in a 32-bit version), we spoke with Brian Goldfarb, director of the Developer Platform and Tools Group at Microsoft, about the company's priorities for developing future versions of the plugin.

"The simple answer is no, we are not supporting 64-bit browsers," Goldfarb told us. "Users are running 32-bit browsers because of plugins. It's all about sequencing and timing. We're absolutely going to do it; we're just not going to do it yet." Based on the data Microsoft was seeing, 64-bit browser support just wasn't worth the effort, Goldfarb told us.

"I don't know at what version, but it will happen," he said. "My customers are asking for other features. We need to bring people into the 64-bit world, but the tradeoffs aren't worth it right now. Businesses aren't asking for 64-bit."
