There's no sense in going 64-bit on such a system.

When "general consumer computers" move beyond 4 GB, then 64-bit Vista will
be a "general consumer version of Windows".

With OS X you are already there... with Windows, well, someday. OK.

I appreciate you like the hybrid approach OS X takes- you've only told me 1,386,124 times after all- but OS X is not "already there". OS X simply doesn't have a 64-bit version. It's a 32-bit OS with some extensions.
