We recently fixed the hardwaremodel and architecture facts on Windows as they were always returning i386[1]. The change will be in the upcoming 1.6.10 release of Facter[2]. The new behavior is that hardwaremodel will return something like i686, ia64, x64, etc, while the architecture fact will return either x86 or x64.
Since the new behavior will likely affect puppet users that are trying to write manifests to select the appropriate package architecture, I'm writing to get feedback on this. In particular, is 'x64' the least surprising option? Some examples where this x64 is used: Windows Server x64 splunk-4.2.4-110225-x64-release.msi java_ee_sdk-6u4-jdk7-windows-x64.exe Or would you expect the architecture to be 'amd64' or 'x86_64'?
