I extensively researched this; there are infact

Which 64-bit platforms? 64-bit x86 and / or 64-bit Itanium?
I've not watched the video yet (today).
Both actually, since Microsoft included pinball.exe on the Itanium install
disk. Works too (although there are complications)
Pinball had
problems relating to 64-bit FPU precision (and this can
actually be reproduced by fiddling with FPU flags), but it did ship in
Windows XP x64 Professional.
My understanding is that Windows XP x64 Professional is 64-bit x86 and
not Itanium.
There is also a chance that I'm misremembering things.
No, its just the worst product naming scheme known to man.
