Curious: what would you do if you could have a huge image?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>One answer is what VW customers do with 64-bits. Travis & Martin can give more up-to-date answer on this but IIRC a number of VM customers had images that were pushing the 4Gb limit. One was Quallaby. They did a network monitoring app that had huge numbers of large integers in a graph representing the state of the network. EZBoard wanted 64-bit images because their message-board architecture was too monolithic. GemStone had/have customers hitting 32-bit limits on numbers of objects. So I'd sum up as large enterprise apps. Travis, Martin, what's the current demand like?</div>
