Submission + - iPhone Not Compatible With any Windows 64 bit (engadget.com)

Mizled writes: "After buying a new iPhone yesterday and bringing it home to sync and activate it, I found out that Windows 64 bit is NOT supported. I get the message "The software required for iPhone is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again." I do a bit of research on the Apple forums and I found out I'm not the only one. Neither XP 64bit nor Vista 64bit works with the iPhone. Luckily, I do have a Windows XP SP2 32bit version installed on a computer so I can activate and sync my new phone. Some iPhone users are left with no way to activate their phone and use it due to only having 64bit Windows. I called the Apple support line and one of the support representatives said I needed to DOWNGRADE my computer from a 64bit Operating System because Apple will NOT be supporting 64bit Windows on the iPhone. Why should I have to downgrade from 64bit? Why can't they get with the times and upgrade their software to work and function properly? This article on Engadget talks about it briefly. I even spoke with several AT&T employees yesterday who stated the iPhone would be supported on any XP SP2 or Vista editions. I also made a post about my concerns on the Apple iPhone discussion forums which was then removed."
