Thanks Guys for reply.

I need concreate information whether Glassfish will work *perfectly* (SUN
fully supported) on 64-bit windows ( 2003, 2008), with 64-bit JVM.

*SUN confirmation is needed.*

Last time we have had lots of Glassfish troubles on 32-bit windows-2008, we
don't want to take any chance.

regards
Anand
