Windows 7 has seen a <a href="http://www.dailytech.com/Windows+64bit+Installs+Jump+From+11+Percent+Vista+to+46+Percent+Windows+7/article19005.htm">46% install rate of the 64-bit version</a> compared to only 11% under Vista (and less on Windows XP). As a result, many people have been wondering how 64-bit software fits into the concept of portable software.
