[users@httpd] Why do apache-devs not provide the x64 version of httpd binary?

You know,run 32bit httpd on windows server 08 r2 datacenter is bad enough.

Want the answer.

All windows builds are donated, not provided by the Apache Software
Foundation team developing the HTTPD project.

Yes,

It's best to compile them your self.

I'm not sure the ones on blackdot are up to date. Especially the
modules, so compiling your self is the best route.
Also it isn't very hard. A lot of progress can still be made on that
front, but 2.2 is doable with a bit of effort.

Here is hoping 2.3 will be better.

You could also choose not to run it on Windows.
Install a modern Linux distritbution, and you'll have a 64bit server
with apache in less than half an hour.

IIRC it mostly has to do with the standardization on Visual C++ 6 for
building the windows build.
Always using the same compiler will ensure for better binary
compatibility of 3rd party modules.

The switch to Visual C++ 2005/8/10 would result in breaking this standard.

Also the benefit of running a 64-bit version compared to a 32-bit
version are negligible in most cases.
If you really wish to use 64-bit version, you can compile them your
self or take one of the community provided once.
