Gamecloud - The tech demo was released in late September. Overall what has the reaction been like from people who have downloaded it and played it?

Dermot Gallagher - Overall the reaction has been very positive. That said, there has been a little bit of confusion related to the visual aspect of the benefits of 64-bit over 32-bit. Some people are reading it that these visual differences can only happen in 64-bit, and correctly pointing out that it's a bit odd for essentially GPU related features to be claimed as 64-bit improvements. The reality is, that those GPU features are able to be applied in 64-bit for no impact on framerate over the 32-bit version. So, because we're able to finish processing the frame earlier in 64-bit, we're able to pretty it up a little. The comparisons are based on the demo executing on the same PC, as WinXP 64 will also run 32-bit applications. So running in 64-bit we get a slice of time over the 32-bit version, and these graphics improvements are just one example of what you can do inside that extra headroom.
