I can't believe I haven't noticed this sooner, but Flash doesn't support 64-bit?!

So, sure, I can run a 32-bit IE but why should I have to? Further digging finds
this old Slashdot post.
Chad Brooks and I finished our first Roadshow today in Raleigh where we dove into Silverlight. Obvious comparisons are made between Flash and Silverlight, and while I'm not looking to go tit-for-tat on features, I'm floored that there's no 64-bit version. I say this expecting some heat: but just like Adobe introduced H.264/MPEG-4 video support, I think x64 will come, too. Thanks Silverlight :) Competition is wonderful.
