Besides most of Apple hardware only a year or 2 old won't be able to run 64 bit kernel anyway. You are in fact still stuck with 32 bit kernel even on the latest 13'' Macbook Pro, the most current model, and low end 15'' Macbook. So, it seems to me Apple is the one with false advertising and claims, while competitors have had 64 bit ready OSes almost 10 years ago. Exactly, I was going to say the same thing.

Apparently, 64 bit kernel will not be available on all 64 bit CPUs, only the ones that also have 64 bit chipset, and 64 bit EFI. And that excludes all Macbooks, even the 13'' Macbook Pro and even the low end 15'' Macbook, all Mac Pros before early 2008 version (older than 3.1) etc. So, if you really want 64 bit OS X you need to buy new hardware with that $30 OS upgrade as well. Or, you could install Linux or Windows on your Mac, since those had proper 64 bit support almost 10 years ago. Except Snow Leopard is yet another stop gap update towards 64 bit.

BTW - we haven't necessarily payed premium, considering the exchange rate - maybe $10 extra at the very most. However what annoys me is how some software doesn't drop in price or that the cost of Apple software tends not to change with the exchange rate. @ RIchard:
