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. We've had a few discussions in the forums amongst the development staff and users and come to what we think are the right conclusions. And, since we just released our first hybrid 32-bit/64-bit app that didn't necessarily need to be (see: <a href="http://portableapps.com/news/2010-07-23_-_7-zip_portable_4.65_rev_3">7-Zip Portable</a>), I thought it would make sense to get our conclusions all down in one place for those that are interested.</p> <p><a href="http://portableapps.com/node/24371">Read on for all the details...</a> | <a href="http://portableapps.com/blog/2/feed">Subscribe to John T.
