Unfortunately, the 64-bit processor/OS is still a fringe market. There are more people moving to them lately, but not enough for most companies to make an effort - see most similar complaints about MacOS support. It'll probably be a couple years before the conversion is enough to warrant such support. That said, some companies aren't waiting and have already provided such support - like 3DSMax and Cinema 4D.
To emphasize the fringeness of 64-bit OSs at this time, not even Apple will bend to create a 64-bit version of QuickTime which, for its ubiquitousness, is appalling!
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the
foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.
