Should I be using Vista 64-bit
I'm running 32 Bit Vista Ultimate on a 64 Bit machine. The reason I don't
install a 64 Bit operating system is because most of the software available today isn't 64 Bit. Okay 32 Bit will run on 64 Bit hardware but 32 bit software doesn't need a 64 Bit environment and certainly won't be able to access the additional features of a 64 Bit system. Also 64 bit drivers are not readily available for hardware. Do you need to run 64 Bit Vista? No - not at the moment. Maybe when hardware manufacturers start providing 64 Bit drivers. -- -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

Should I be using Vista 64-bit
From what I understand the OP is quite satisfied with Vista Ultimate. His
question was simply should he change from 32 bit to 64 bit. That question I have answered. Why would he even bother with XP? I can understand your comments if he had stated that Vista wasn't working for him, but 'it is' working for him. -- -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

But as for "started work on the next OS" Microsoft have been developing the new OS since just 2 months after the launch of Vista. They could see even then that vista was a huge mistake. It is losing them millions. The new OS is based more on XP, although obviously it has a new look to it, with a much more secure framework, It will include IE-8 but they have done away with windows mail and opted for Outlook Express v10. PLUS it has the added benefit that ALL XP software and hardware will be FULLY compatible. Vista shall not be with us for much longer I can assure you. Microsoft are getting ready to offer all those who have purchased vista and are able to send them the original disk along with the correct activation code, a free upgrade. Looking at it's progress, I would think it should be launched early next year. The name they are toying with at the moment is Microsoft X-Pression, wether or not they will call it that when it's finished remains to be seen. I have a copy of it running on one of my PC's and to be honest it is quite good. It certainly leaves vista standing in terms of speed and ease of use. Plus it looks great, that I must admit. Myself, I am working on the networking side of it, it has done away with all that crap that vista has, and the networking interface/setup looks remarkably similar to windows98 lol. regards Vangellis MCP,MCTS,MCPD,MCIPT,MCA,MCSE,MCSD,MCDBA

Should I be using Vista 64-bit
Question Vangellis.
If you are working on Windows 7 then surely, as all MVPs are, you are under a Non Disclosure Agreement with Microsoft therefore you are not allowed to mention the features on public newsgroups. (unless they have been made public knowledge by Microsoft, not leaked) As for Microsoft 'toying' with X-Pression for the new Windows 7 operating system that is 'exactly' what XP stood for Windows XPression. |I cannot see them using a name that in anyway resembles XP. An MVP that broke the NDA would quickly be shown the door. -- -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".
