From a client perspective, you are - to an extent - correct Lanz. In the server market however you are quite wrong. There are immediate benefits to be had with many enterprise applications.
But then you're talking Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition, doubtful anyone reading this thread will be interested in that. Certainly nobody with a 10 million customer base that would be requiring SQL Server 2005 for storing data.
There needs to be a killer game come out soon that uses 64bit for it to really take off, something like BF2 would have been ideal, but there's nothing on the horizon until next year at the earliest.
Maybe they will bring out 3dmark06 that supports it, that would also get people excited.
