On moving Microsoft Update Downloads to x64

Another great 64-bit story. Since a picture says more than 1,000 words, check out the image.

In case you wonder about the less concurrent connections on 64-bit, read the complete article: "... Finally, our prediction of an increased number of concurrent connections was incorrect. Actually, the 64-bit OS is so much better at serving requests than the 32-bit OS (3,400 average gets for 64-bit versus an average of 2,000 gets for 32-bit) that the connections do not remain open long enough to increase our current connections."
