Is MS ever going to shrinkwrap XP64?
Just a WAG on my part. Is MS going to make us wait for Vista if we are to be able to build or upgrade our own systems? I understand that drivers are a problem and MS doesn't want unhappy customers. -- a d y k e s @ p a n i x . c o m Don't blame me. I voted for Gore. |

in alt.comp.hardware.amd.x86-64, the queezy keyboard of "NoNoBadDog!" spewed the following: |Windows XP Professional x64 Edition has bee available fro purchase for well |over a year. | |Welcome to our planet. Please stay awhile and try to learn about us while |you are here. | And the OP can still get a 4 month trial of x64 he http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/6...ion/trial.mspx Just slap in a new hdd and dual boot.

Is MS ever going to shrinkwrap XP64?
I'm not totally impressed with VISTA Beta. I use XP x64 and had no
problem finding drivers. When I first installed x64, I thought I wouldn't be able to install my ScanSoft (PaperPort), because the software came with a MFC (hardware) package, so the CD wouldn't install w/autoplay. I found 64-bit drivers for my MFC from the Manufacturer Web Site and then explored the CD to find the installation program for PaperPort and it works flawlessly. WOW64 in the OS kernal works good. The only problem software is Utilities and Virus. There are 64-bit compatable virus software out there but but I don't care for the companies. Kaspersky Lab is putting their x64 versions on the market in April, so I'll wait for them. Now, don't under-rate me, I don't have to upgrade for VISTA, I'm already living in the future. I'm just not a gamer, I don't need Aero Glass. Oh, by the way, I am currently online without active Virus software and can even turn off the Windows x64 Firewall without fear of spyware or intruders (hackers) because I'm 100% stealthy with a hardware firewall, namely ALPHA SHIELD (only $100). Of course I can still get a Virus if I open bad E-Mail, but I generally know what E-Mail to delete, so not a problem. |
