I believe we'll have to wait way longer for the 64-bit version...
A performance improved 64-vrsion would be nice, but so far we're waiting for the normal 32-bit... and wainting... but soon...

Platform: PC MS Windows™ 98, ME, 2000, XP, XP x64 and Vista (all versions)

XP Itanium emulates x86 just fine, so a x64 version is the only possible reason for mentioning XP x64 separately.

I've started using the PC side of my MacBook Pro for chess. Can we have the discount if we have Hiarcs 11 for Mac?

http://hiarcs.com/pc_uci_options.htm suggests the option
"Sharpen PV" should be on for one minute per move and longer.

Does this make a significant difference in strength?

Well if anyone can suggest a good neutral book to use I'll give it a go at
90'+1' using H12 with it on and off and Rybka latest in a 3 way tournament.
Be warned it may take a while to get a decent number!!

This will be on a single cpu.
