Whatever happened to Office 12 64-bit?

This was from well over a year ago. MS was working on a 64-bit version of Office 2007. I can't really find anything else on it. Did they ever do anything with this, or was it blown off?

The latter more likely...

I disagree. On my office 2007 cd, there's a folder called "office64.en-us". Inside is two msi files and a couple of xml and other files. From what I can gather, the MSI files are the x64 installer files for office 2007 x64. However, I have to test this in an x64 operating system to confirm.

That's just the en-us MUI for x64 versions of Windows. From the "system requirements":

"The 2007 Microsoft Office system programs client is a 32-bit application and can run on a Windows 64-bit platform (Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista) but there may be some feature limitations as noted in the system requirements below."

As far as I know, the only Office products currently in x64 are Forms Server and Sharepoint Server.
