The x86-64 architecture is now a de facto standard, and all modern Free and proprietary software packages are inevitably going to support it. This list is therefore unmaintainable; already thousands of software packages are eligible for inclusion here. Psychonaut (talk) 11:42, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. WP:NOT#DIR, WP:SALAT. The list is too large in scope to be useful, maintainable and suitable for an encyclopedia. — Rankiri (talk) 14:18, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. With 64-bit Windows 7 becoming common, this list is rather hopeless in scope. Pcap ping 23:13, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per JBsupreme's argument. Jeh (talk) 01:12, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per all above; it's not even very helpful at what it's already doing, since it doesn't clarify which apps are for Server 2003 x64, XP Pro x64, Vista 64, or 7 64... many of them being incompatible with some or all-but-one versions — which I mention just in case it is kept, as this'd be an area vaguely worth expanding on. – Kieran T (talk) 23:07, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
