Peter this is important that the default 32 bits Pharo works well on
windows.
Please report any crash. This is important that we hear that it is not
working.

The 64 bits linux and mac VM have been working for more than 6 months.
They've been in production in a company since April or something like that.
Latest product are built by Travis and available here:
https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/cog#files. Pharo provides a
Pharo-flavored VM with a different logo and additional plugins. No 64 bits
Pharo-flavored VM seems to be available, so the support right now is
incomplete on 64bits due to missing plugins (no FreeType, Cairo binding,
etc.), however I am taking care that the Pharo image still starts and works
normally on the main build, so only some features are not working.
The 64 bits Pharo image is available on http://files.pharo.org/image/60/
(See for example latest-64.zip).
The FFI plugin is working but the UFFI front-end may have little issues.
The issues should be minor so the complete support shouldn't take long.

Is there a timeline for 64bit on Windows?
There has been a working 64 bits VM on windows for a month now. It has been
merged with the main code base recently. 64 bits windows VM are not
compiled automatically yet so you have to compile it yourself if you want
to use it. The repo is here:
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm and the build.win64x64
folder has a HowToBuild file.
Also will it make the Windows VM even more unstable, or can it help?
#askingforafriend
Precise what you are talking about and I can answer.
Well there was a lot of instability (I still crash regularly), mostly related
to Cairo/GrafPort and FT.
On windows I didn't even get dumps, so I can only suspect it was the same issue.
But I guess since there are no plugins for this, it wouldn't work at all at the
moment, but we will when it rolls in.
