I'd posted the link to the windows verification site for the software rather than the hardware. The issue with the camcorder won't be interfacing with windows, but rather the software compatibility with AVCHD. Given that AVCHD editing is not yet universally supported by all software (for example within Premiere Pro), it is important to a) check that your software supports AVCHD and b) that this software is compatible with 64 bit windows.
And that's why Pinnacle Studio 12 is compatible with the cam - because studio 12 supports AVCHD and is 64bit compatible. Does that make sense? It's not that the cam is compatible with windows 64 bit per se (and will not therefore feature in the windows list), but rather that there is software available that supports the camera format and is 64 bit compatible.
So here's the question - do you REALLY want Studio 12. Studio has a history of bugs and there are just as many people with bad experiences as those with good. Those that can get it to work, love it. Those that experience frequent crashes, loathe it. I would suggest you get your hands on a trial before you buy.
