Oh, what a beautiful sight......Sql Server Management Studio running on Windows for x64

I've got Sql Server 2005 up and running on my x64 system, note the info in the bottom right hand part of the screen.  This was not promised until Beta 3 of Sql Server 2005.  This is so cool.  I've been looking forward to this for a long time.  The Sql Server Management Studio runs as a 32 bit application in the WOW layer, if memory serves me correctly.  This is just like how Visual Studio .NET 2005 runs on x64.  Don't worry, there is a full 64 bit version of the .NET Framework.
