I believe 64 bit Windows on the desktop really had a breakthrough with Vista and 7. A lot of people want 64 bit for the OS and then usually prefer native 64 bits applications as well even if they don't notice a difference compared to 32 bit. I guess it's not a matter of "if" a software company should have a 64 bit version, but but "when" it should happen since 64 bit obviously is the future. Some competitors are already there and i think PA should consider to do the same thing sooner instead of later.

well this is why the thread was started - to see if people want 64bit extraction of RARs even if it is slower than 32bit extraction of RARs and has no benefit except for being slower :-)
