Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] 64bit Windows builds
From: pierre.php@gmail.com (Pierre Joye)

hi,

Yes, there is a reason.

We do not support x64 binaries yet, for php itself and many libs used
by PHP. Some argues that it is safe. Btw, it is not faster to run on
x64 either.

php-next will have x64 support tho'.

Cheers,
