I recently got my self Vista 64 and all I can say is that it was practicly unuseable tbh I think there are more programmes compatible with a basic Linux Distro the 64bit Vista, I could'nt use hardly any of my programmes with it all, I would just like to say anyone that is considering getting an oem Vista then if you are used to using many different third party applications and programmes then don't get the 64bit version.
well im using the vista ultamate x64 for just over a week now i think it is, running smoothe tbh, havent had that many problems, even though i was expecting a fair amount, being as it was a new os, but never the less, had to use a beta drivers for my creative audigy 2 soundcard,(wich are expiring drivers i might add), never mind as long as new oens are released before they expire im not to bothered, not got the functions i owuld normaly have from creative drivers, but then its more than i expected. erm my matrix orbital lcd i put in my case in unuseable atm, and gotta admit i miss the info it displays on there, no idea when new workable drivers are going to be available, there was some talk on there forum about using drivers, i coudnt get them working, not to mention the unsigned driver prob . anyhow the apps i have used so far do work, all be it not as i expected,for one nod 32, there is a nod 64 bit program, on my system it installed in the 32 bit folder, im a buit miffed about that, but at least it sort of works, not as it did on xp, ie checked files being sent and resieved within msn messenger, and ie downloads too. but like i said at least its working somewhat, erm then theres the nvidia drivers, they seam to be slow updating there drivers, wich is the majour complaint when i owned a ati card.hmmmmz, i liek the inferace, very nice looking, nice and smooth, not had any bsods, or unstable sessions. installed very quickly about 23 mins from start to finish, i activate dit stright away since i wont be changing my motherboard for quite a while,(im still paying back this current upgrade to my wife), anyhow, bar for that running nice and smoothe, i deffinatley will not be going back to xp, btw i got a ready boost1gb certified key of ocuk, i personly think its a bit of a rippoff, although it does make web browsing a tad faster, but you can use other programs to do that.
just my £2 worth
