Wrong!

MSDN states that on Win64, sizeof(int)==4, sizeof(long)==4
(in the interest of keeping most code working), but
sizeof(void *)==8. So code that assumes you can store
a pointer in the memory for the int will need to be reworked.

Microsoft have made the (IMO correct) assumption that
the most important benefit of a 64-bit platform is not integer
calculation with 64 bits, but rather, 64-bit addressing.
