If you mean by that that there's no 64-bit kernel, that information should be obsolete. There is a 64-bit kernel with 10.6 (n.b., normal MacOS, not only server), and some latest Macs boot it by default: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3770 Most recent Macs can boot it, if the user chooses so: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3773 Bottom line, some Macs support the 64-bit kernel since about two years, and it's the default on some. Applications can still run in 32-bit mode. Some applications already run in 64-bit mode by default, I noticed - like Safari, Mail, Aperture. > And LO/OOo builds are built against 10.4 anyway, and that is 32bit on Intel.
