Why don't we have separate groups for XP x64 and Vista 64? they are both
very different hence XP and Vista 32 both have their own groups

I don't think there's a real answer to this - each versions is served by
it's own NG and when XP x64 was in the works they realized a pure 64bit NG
was called for. There is a Vista NG, they seem to take care of the usual
slandering and mud throwing, but real-life 64bit issues in the broadest
sense are dealt with here.

Fair enough?

Also the small quantity of daily posts (around 10) would not justify
splitting the brains of this distinguished 64-bit enabled international
community into two newsgroups.

That is true - quantity has fallen significantly over the last year. In
Pre-Vista days, though, this was a rather busy group, I think.
