A major new release of Auto Shutdown Pro II was made this October 1, 2012. This updated version includes the first 64 bit version of the product so that the software now works in Windows 8 64 bit, Windows 7 64bit, and Vista 64 bit. This is significant because the future both of my product and your business is and will become more and more a 64 bit market. The product now supports these 7 platforms: XP x32, Vista x32, Vista x64, Win 7 x32, Win 7 x64, Win 8 32x, and Win 8 64x. Even without Windows 8 because it is new, these platforms represent 91.39% of Windows operating systems presently (Windows 7: 42.72%, XP 42.52%, Vista 6.15%) These seven platforms should guarantee a shelf life for this product for another 10 years which is important to you and to me.
The install program has likewise been redone very carefully. The program itself and its libraries are different between the 32 bit and 64 bit environments. Even though there is now a 32 bit and 64 bit version, from your perspective as a download site, there need be only one listing of the program on your site, because the same install program is used for both 32 bit and 64 bit environments. The install program has the intelligence built into it so that only the right program and the right libraries are installed on a computer based upon whether the install is being run on a 32 bit or 64 bit computer. This should be great news for you site because this means you now have a much broader market for the product, but the “marketing” of the product requires no more complexity or administration at your end with only a single listing.
